Question

Consider the following example to understand better my question:

public class ClassName 
{
    public ClassName { }

    public string Val { get; set; }

    ...
}

ClassName cn = new ClassName();

cn.Val = "Hi StackOverflow!!";

What would be the equivalent of this code in python?

Answer 1

You can easily add members to any Python object as show in other answers. For more complicated get/set methods like in C#, see the property builtin:

class Foo(object):
   def __init__(self):
      self._x = 0

   def _get_x(self):
      return self._x

   def _set_x(self, x):
      self._x = x

   def _del_x(self):
      del self._x

   x = property(_get_x, _set_x, _del_x, "the x property")
