SQLAlchemy commit changes to object modified through __dict__

Question

I am developing a multiplayer game. When I use an object from inventory, it should update the user creature\'s stats with the values of the attributes of an object.

Answer 1

Don't use __dict__. Use getattr and setattr to modify attributes by name:

for attribute in obj.attributes:
    setattr(cur_creature,str(attribute.Name), getattr(cur_creature,str(attribute.Name)) + attribute.Value)

More info:

setattr

getattr
