Given the following simple code. I was trying find a way to
dynamically de-reference a class attribute. Problem explained below.
class test:
def __init__(self):
self.a = 0
self.b = 0
self.c = 0
myDict = {}
myDict['one'] = test()
myDict['two'] = test()
# I know I can do this at runtime.
myVar = 7
myDict['one'].a = myVar
myLetter = 'b'
## Is there any way to choose the attribute of test based on a varible.
## like this?
myDict['one'].{myLetter} = 9
I know you can do this kind of thing with other languages Perl, C++
Is it possible with Python?
If so what is the syntax in Python.
Maybe there is a better/equivalent approach if so could you point me
to an example?
