I have a program that take a word as argument, and I would like to
link this word to a class variable.

eg.
class foo():
  width = 10
  height = 20

a=foo()
arg='height'
a.__argname__= new_value

rather than :

if arg == 'height':
  a.height = new_value
elif arg == 'width';
  a.width = new_value

Can I do this with python ? How ?

assuming you mean "instance variable" ("a" is an instance of the class "foo"), you can use setattr:

    a = foo()
    arg = 'height'
    setattr(a, arg, new_value)
