variable attribute name

2014-10-27 Thread Harvey Greenberg
I want to let the name of an attribute be the string value of a variable. Here is some code: class Object(object): pass A = Object() s = 'attr' A. = 1 The last line denotes the variable value by (not a python form). What I want is to have A.attr = 1, but 'attr' determined by the value of s.

how to read list from file
