If you think setattr() is as ordinary as a trivial assignment, I will argue with you, this is personal taste.
To my way of thinking, getattr() and setattr() are the fundamental way of accessing attributes in Python. The dot notation is just syntactic sugar for the overwhelmingly common case of a static attribute name. So the dot-notation is more "ordinary" in the sense of being more commonly used, but not in the sense of being a simpler operation. Both are doing exactly the same thing underneath. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
