class DictObj(object):
    def load(self, **data):
        self.__dict__.update(data)

    @classmethod
    def create(cls, **data):
      s = cls()
      s.load(**data)
      return s


class Student(DictObj):
    pass

data = {"name": "Max", "age": 20}
s = Student.create(**data)
print "Name is: ", s.name
print "Age is: ", s.age
