I'm pretty sure I'd actually read the first 2 links you point to, but the
difference between __setattr__ and __setitem__ still never registered with
me -- perhaps partly because even the discussion of __setattr__ discusses
adding an entry to the "*dictionary* of instance attributes".
*MANY* thank
If you really want __setitem__ and not __setattr__, you should change the
base class to 'dict'. Or 'import UserDict' and use that for the base class.

object has no __setitem__. Are you looking for __setattr__?
