Hi J,
You can use getattr and setattr for dynamic property access:
s = Story()
setattr(s, 'title', 'The three little pigs')
getattr(s, 'title') # Returns 'The three little pigs'

I need to assign a value to a Model property but its name is not known
until runtime. For illustrative purposes, say
class Story(db.Model):
title = db.StringProperty()
body = db.TextProperty()
s = Story(title=The Three Little Pigs)
Since I wanted to decide on the property name at runtime, I wrote:
cmd = 's.%s = %s' % ('body', 'Once upon a time...')
exec(cmd)
I shouldn't have to use exec. There has to be a better way of
assigning values to properties.
Any suggestions?
