Yes I know it sound a little bit twisted.

Here is why (simplification)
I designed a generic class which is customizable through a python like
scripting.
Script let you instantiate, add, set/get attribute and much more...

script example:
taskName = "ExecBatch" # default name
ARGUMENT : taskName = '%(taskName)s'
taskRef = Fac.createInstance( "progCommand" ,taskName)
print taskRef,"created",taskRef.getName()
taskRef.Set(command = "someExe -batch")
top.addChild(taskRef)


Now, I would like to give the user some way to save preference, and for
consistency I tought it will be nice to be able to have a script of the
same
kind:

ataskid = 0
ARGUMENT : 'ataskid = 0x%(taskName)x'
if id != 0:
   ataskRef = Fac.getInstance(id)
   if ataskRef != None:
         ataskRef.Set('whoToTell',value = ['someOne','someoneElse'])
         ataskRef.Set('sendEmail',value = 1)
