Are you asking a question or just sharing a useful link? > Thank you before your answer... What question do you want us to answer? The question on Stackoverflow has already been answered correctly: there is no need to use eval (or exec) for this basic task. Also, you're not writing C code. Get rid of the semi-colons, they are just a waste of time, and make you look like an incompetent programmer. Using exec is not the right solution. That is unsafe, if the field name and content come from a database or external input, your code now has a *serious* Code Injection vulnerability. AND it is slow. So you have written slow, unsafe code. Get rid of it, and use setattr like you have already been told: setattr(self, fieldName, fieldValue) -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
