Or:

class Room(object):
    name = 'Room'
    light = 1


class Tavern(Room):
    name = 'Tavern'
    light = 0


Then, at startup time, store the type of the room in the data, so you 
know which variable to instantiate at startup time.

It's a matter of preference, but I don't like stuffing data into 
variables on __init__ unless I have to.
