That's awesome. I'll definitely keep an eye on that project.

setattr() might be the better way to do this, though.
setattr(self, 'foo', 'Hi There's)
Cool little trick. In a class __init__ method
`vars(self)[attrname] = attrobj`
This will set an attribute on the object named whatever is in the attrname variable.
So:
attrname = 'foo'
attrobj = "Hi There'
vars(self)[attrname] = attrobj
results in:
self.foo == 'Hi There'

In a similar vein, my father was a HS US History teacher and maintained a decades-long running joke that North Dakota doesn't really exist.
The joke outlived him, really.
I'm not sure who I want to win this thing at this point.
I know I want Pitt to lose in the semi-finals, again.

I totally get the reasoning for more qualifications,and I called for a rule clarification from my family on DE, because counting it felt kinda cheap. But they affirmed it, so...:shrug:
Wow, I thought my family's rules on this were a bit strict, "Airports don't count.", but that's hardcore.
That'd take DE off my list. I just drove through in my car, feet didn't actually touch the ground, but by our rules, I get to count it.
My father was a HS US history teacher and had a long running joke in his classroom (and by long-running, I mean decades), that ND doesn't exist.
