Wrap a 1 argument method as a variable change in Python

Question

I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is even possible:

Basically I got a config.py file, it contains some variables, let's say var1 is one of them.

I want that by doing config.var1 = 'some value' what will actually happen is config.some_method('some value')

Is that possible?

Read the linked answer more carefully: You can do it, as long as config is not a module but an object of a class you define. You could even name both config, and import it with from config import config to keep the rest of your code the same. — alexis

You can't do this with a module.

Use a class, with a @property.
