And introduce error handling while we're at it? Should we consider a 
CutAndPasteError in Python? :)

c:\Users\Mark\MyPython>type mytest.py
class Example(object):
     def __init__(self, value):
         self.x = value


instance = Example(42)
print(instance.x)  # gives 42
instance.setx(23)
c:\Users\Mark\MyPython>mytest.py
42
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\Users\Mark\MyPython\mytest.py", line 8, in <module>
     instance.setx(23)
AttributeError: 'Example' object has no attribute 'setx'
