523a3bc773 python: Use getattr() and setattr() instead of __dict__.
This leaves one use of __dict__ used for iterating through attributes.
I could use dir() instead, but I was put off by this note in its
documentation in the Python Library Reference:

    Because dir() is supplied primarily as a convenience for use at an
    interactive prompt, it tries to supply an interesting set of names more
    than it tries to supply a rigorously or consistently defined set of names,
    and its detailed behavior may change across releases.  For example,
    metaclass attributes are not in the result list when the argument is a
    class.

991559357f Implement initial Python bindings for Open vSwitch database.
These initial bindings pass a few hundred of the corresponding tests
for C implementations of various bits of the Open vSwitch library API.
The poorest part of them is actually the Python IDL interface in
ovs.db.idl, which has not received enough attention yet.  It appears
to work, but it doesn't yet support writes (transactions) and it is
difficult to use.  I hope to improve it as it becomes clear what
semantics Python applications actually want from an IDL.
