Reassigning Instance Attributes (Python OOP)

Question

Hello guys, I have a question regarding python OOP.
Is it a good practice to change instance/object attributes from code outside of the class? like what I did in this example code.
If it's not, then what should we do to change object attributes that have been instantiated?
Thank you

Answer 1

Thats great! You could also make a color_change method that can change the color to any you type in.
Thats a special cat you have there

Answer 2

Yeah, I also doubt that this is a pythonic way to change instance attributes 😅
Thanks for the answer guys Slick Felipe BF 😁😁

Answer 3

In Python, and as far as I know, changing properties that way is acceptable, though I'm unsure if it's pythonic.

I remember you can define getters and setters using decorators.

I refer you to this article for more information: https://medium.com/@pranaygore/setters-and-getters-in-python-76b5473b3c83

ArthD Glad to be of help! :D

I know Python assumes everybody to be adults and exercise care in doing such changes. That's why I can say for sure it's correct.
