And please avoid the shadowing.  It's confusing whenever the same name 
is used for a class attribute and an instance attribute of the same 
class.  it can be useful for defaults and such, but not here.

  class RPS:
      KEY_TABLE={0:"rock", 1:"paper",2:"scissors"};
   or
      KEY_TABLE= ("rock", "paper", "scissors")
      def __init__(self):
          self.throw=random.randrange(3)
          self.key=RPS.KEY_TABLE[self.throw]

Note I also capitalized the tuple name, which is a convention saying we 
don't intend to modify it.
