Access a class attribute using django in Python [duplicate]

Question

I want to access a class attribute in a method, which is associated with the class but since this should be automatic, I use a for-loop. The problem is how to append the attribute name that I get as a string to self so that I could access the attribute: self.str.

Attributes of the instance is stored as a dictionary field called __dict__. However a proper way of getting a field dynamically is by using a getattr method. Here is an example:

>>> t = Test()
>>> t.b = 2
>>> getattr(t, 'b')
2
>>> getattr(t, 'c', 'default_value')
'default_value'
