This seems like a confusion of two things: identifiers are lexical elements of the language. Attributes are not limited to identifiers. We could add to the docs for setattr: "The attribute name does not have to be a valid identifier." I don't know what the language guarantees about what strings are valid as attribute names. ---------- nosy: +nedbat _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35105> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
