setattr() - Built-in Functions

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