Hi!
In a class C, I may do setattr(C,'x',1 0).
Is it possible to use getattr/setattr for variables not inside
classes or something equivalent? I mean with the same result as
exec("x=10").
Thanks. 10 2012

If you're at the module level, you can do::
globals()['x'] = 10
If you're inside a function, you probably want to look for another way
of doing what you're doing.
What's the actual task you're trying to accomplish here?

That would set an attribute on the class C, shared by all instances of
that class.
If you want to set an attribute on an instance, you need to do so on
the instance object::
>>class Foo(object):
... def __init__(self):
... setattr(self, 'bar', 10)
...
>>Foo.bar
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: type object 'Foo' has no attribute 'bar'
>>spam = Foo() spam.bar
10

"Variables not inside classes or functions" are attributes of the
module (so-called "global" attributes). Thus, you can use setattr on
the module object::
>>import sys
>>def foo():
... this_module = sys.modules[__name__]
... setattr(this_mo dule, 'bar', 10)
...
>>bar
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'bar' is not defined
>>foo() bar
10

What does the python documentation say about the definition of
setattr()?

Yes, but you shouldn't unless you really need to. You're better off
rethinking your algorithm.
If you think you really need to, you probably don't.
If you *really* think you really need to, you might.
>>x
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'x' is not defined
>>globals()['x'] = 5 x
5
Note that there is also a function locals(), but it doesn't work as you
might expect:
>>def f():
.... locals()['x'] = 99
.... print x
....
>>f()
5

I didn't read the full python documentation, yet! I hope to survive
until then :-)
In the meanwhile, I searched google for setattr python but all
references I could see were about X.foo type.
One more "RTFM culture" response ...
Thanks.

None. I asked just for curiosity. My problem has to do with the normal
case of a class or class instance. When I saw setattr/getattr as the way
to solve my problem I just felt curiosity on if and how it could be done
outside a class.
Thank you very much for your response.

You don't need setattr/getattr if you know in advance the name of the
attribute you need to access and you can get a reference to the object
whose attribute it is. So:
>>import sys x = "Hello, Paulo" sys.modules['__main__'].x
'Hello, Paulo'
>>globals()['x']
'Hello, Paulo'
>>>

Indeed. Any handle on the right object will do.

I got some unexpected behavior in getattr and copy.deepcopy (see

Hi,
I m trying to implement an object which contains lazy" variables. My
idea is to alter the getattr and the setattr methods. However I keep
on getting a recursion error.
My idea is that the lazy variable can be stored in a variety of
places, Database, PyTables etc. The lazy variable is a large variable
and so I dont want to hold it in memory all of the time, I d rather
just get it when needed and then store it for future work. Most...

SGMLlib blows up because of this when faced with a Unicode end tag:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
