I'm trying to use __setattr__ in  a class I"m writing, but have been having 
problems getting it to work.

I've looked on Active state and found references to this
self.__dict__['modified'] = 1

I would like to know more about what 'modified' = 1 does, and when I would 
need use it.
The books I have on Python don't go into much detail on overloading methods 
like __setattr__

thanks
