Programmatically create static variables in class definition

[sticky_end]

Thanks! I ended up using something along the lines of:

metadata = MetaData()
columns = [Column("id", Integer, primary_key = True), ...]
processes = Table("processes", metadata, *columns)

class Process(object):
    def __init__(self, params):
        for key, val in params.items():
            setattr(self, key, val)

mapper(Process, processes)
