New submission from Lyudmil Nenov <lne...@mm-sol.com>: I am not sure if this is actually a bug.
Given documentation @ http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/ref/identifiers.html, the issue is that setattr does not appear to check identifier for naming convention. See a short example below. Running on windows >>> sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=1, releaselevel='final', serial=0) >>> sys.version_info sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=1, releaselevel='final', serial=0) >>> class Example(): pass >>> example = Example() >>> example.@foo = 4 SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> setattr(example, '@foo', 'bar') >>> dir(example) ['@foo', '__doc__', '__module__'] >>> example.@foo SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> getattr(example, '@foo') 'bar' ---------- messages: 153468 nosy: lnenov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: When using setattr identifiers can start with any character type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14029> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
