python setattr 函数

setattr ( object, name, value )

This is the counterpart of getattr(). The arguments are an object, astring and an arbitrary value. The string may name an existing attribute or anew attribute. The function assigns the value to the attribute, provided theobject allows it. For example, setattr(x, 'foobar', 123) is equivalent tox.foobar = 123.
