I'm looping through a dictionary that has keys that match the fields in an ObjectModel.

With the value from that dictionary, I query an address and gather some data that I want to then save in the Object. My hope is to use the key from the dictionary to reference the field within the object.

I'm having a hard time explaining this with text so I hope the example code below showcases what I'm trying to do:

example_dict = 
 "key": "value",
 "second_key": "second_value"


class ExampleModel(models.Model):
 key = models.CharField(max_length=255)
 second_key = models.CharField(max_length=255)
}

object_example = ExampleModel()

for key, value in example_dict:
 data = doDataRequest(value)
 object_example[key] = data

object_example.save()

EDIT:
You were also trying to set an attribute of a class as if it were a dict, try to use built in methods such as getattr and setaddr to access those. Look here:

Visit https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/functions.html#setattr

I would recommend to try iterating differently on the dictionary, you could try something like this below, I think this is where your issue is coming in. If not let me know!

for key, value in example_dict.items():
data = doDataRequest(key)
//Use setattr
setattr(object_example, key, data)


And on another note, why use a dict for holding key value pairs if you are not using the value? perhaps try an array with your keys?
