Changing dictionary keys in class object

Vote count:

0

Let's assume I have the following class:

class Test:
    def __init__(self, a, b):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b

And I can convert that class to dictionary like this:

>>> a = Test(1,2)
>>> a.__dict__
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}

Now, I want to change the key of that dictionary to some other thing:

>>> a.__dict__
{'new_a': 1, 'new_b': 2}

Is there a proper way of achieving this by adding some new method in the class Test such that it will automatically covert them to the desired output ?
