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.<s> = 1
The last line denotes the variable value by <s> (not a python form). What I
want is to have A.attr = 1, but 'attr' determined by the value of s. Please advise.
setattr(A, s, 1)
Larry's code will work for you. If you are making many attributes like
this, you might be better off just using a dictionary in the first place:
a = {}
a[s] = 1
