[Tutor] __setattr__ for dictionary???

[Runsun Pan]

hi i'm trying to use the __setattr__ to do some
data check before they are stored into my class.
I've learned :

def __setattr__(self, nsmr, value)

how do i use that to do a data check on the entry of
a dictionary item?

For example, a dict: 

peoplename={'last':'Lee', 'first':'john'}

how do i use the __setattr__ for it ?

thx
