Setting a class attribute with a given name in python while defining the class

Question

I am trying to do something like this:

property = \'name\'
value = Thing()
class A:
  setattr(A, property, value)
  other_thing = \'normal attribute\'

  def __i         


        

Answer 1

You can do it even simpler:

class A():
    vars()['key'] = 'value'

In contrast to the previous answer, this solution plays well with external metaclasses (for ex., Django models).
