PHP $obj->{$field} equivalent in Python

Question

In PHP we can refer to an attribute of an object dynamically like this $obj->{$field}.

How can the same thing be achieved in python?

Answer 1

To get the value of an attribute dynamically, you can use getattr(obj, field_name).

To set the value dynamically, you can use setattr(obj, field_name, new_value).

To test whether the attribute exists, like isset in PHP, you can use hasattr(obj, field_name).
