My limited repertoire. Actually, there wasn't much of a traceback. It
came up in a small OK dialog. I copied what I could. I see my image I

I see Marc covered it with setattr. How does one do it with a

Any reason why you want to do that rather than any of the safer
alternatives? (dict, setattr etc)
