That's true in some way.

What i want to do is to create objects from text files without having to 
program this simple task and to avoid filling forms repeatedly.
So i imagine a solution with three components :
	Import structure, the description of the object being created 		 
  and the description of its constructor,
	Format structure, the description of the source text file,
	Relation structure, the description of the relationship between 		an 
Import and a Format Structure.

Import structure must contain :
	the class
	the constructor function
	the required positional arguments : named args
	the arguments with default values : named defs
	meaningful labels for the arguments.
	additional properties.

Format structure will describe a source text file containing the 
necessary data to create objects described in the import structure.
	The separation used between fields (separator, field legth, ...)
	unique or multiple lines records,
	unique or multiple fields lines in mutiple lines records, etc.

The Relation strcture will describe the association between the fields 
in the source text file and the object's properties. The labels in the 
Import Structure will help to build this relationship.


The usof the function.
So i think i'll have to get the source lines of the function, and parse 
it to find assignation and generate a list of them.

Does that make sense ?
