It's actually just a nice part of the python language, setattr(a, 'foo', 'bar') is the same code as a.foo = bar. When working with NetCDF, the only time I've needed to use setarr (or getattr) is when the name of the attribute I want isn't a valid python identifier (like if an attribute has a - in it, e.g. 'unit-type').
