I apologize for asking maybe a very trivial question.
I have a new class object A with slots. One of the slots is, for
example, object spam. Object spam, in turn, also has slots and one of
them is attribute eggs. I need to assign a new value to eggs. In other
words, I need to perform the following:
A.spam.eggs=newValue
The problem is that I have only a string s='spam.eggs' with which to
work, so I cannot write an expression written above. I tried to use
setattr:
setattr(A, s, newValue)
but this does not work. It says that object A does not have attribute
spam.eggs
How would you do it? TIA.

since "eggs" is an attribute of the "spam" attribute, you need to fetch
the latter first:
setattr(getattr(A, "spam"), "eggs")

Great! Thanks, it works (of course).
