Python: Generic getters and setters

Question

TL;DR: Having to define a unique set of getters and setters for each property()\'d variable sucks. Can I define generic getters and setters and use them with whatever

Answer 1

# coding=utf-8
__author__ = 'Ahmed Şeref GÜNEYSU'


class Student(object):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        for k, v in kwargs.iteritems():
            self.__setattr__(k, v)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    o = Student(first_name='Ahmed Şeref', last_name='GÜNEYSU')
    print "{0} {1}".format(o.first_name, o.last_name)
    print o.email

Gives

Ahmed Şeref GÜNEYSU
  File "/Users/ahmed/PycharmProjects/sanbox/abstract_classes/object_initializer/__init__.py", line 13, in 
    print o.email
AttributeError: 'Student' object has no attribute 'email'

Process finished with exit code 137
