Re: Final statement from Steering Council on politically-charged commit messages

That's quite an interesting ruling by the SC. I'm not surprised to see them bend the knee to PC, but it is disheartening to see they're fine opening a can of political worms in a programming language. I suspect they will deplore messages outside of their bubble though. On Mon, Aug 17, 2020 at 2:

No problem. There are, in fact, ugly class-based methods of doing this. You could assign to an instance's __dict__ dictionary, or -- if the class is a new-style class -- you can call the __setattr__(self, name, value) method. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
