Perhaps not, but now that you've pointed it out they've taken the time machine back and fixed the problem before it arose: >>> class C: ... def __setattr__(self, e, v): ... print 'setting %s to %s' % (e, v) ... self.__dict__[e] = v ... >>> o = C() >>> v = 'mystring' >>> o.e = v setting e to mystring >>> o.e 'mystring' >>> -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
