Weight Problem

[Ravi Kumar]

An Interesting problem,
"""
A man has only 4 bricks of different weights, lies between 1-40KG,
Also, the total weights of Brick A, B, C, D (ie A+B+C+D) is 40KG.
The man uses that brick to calculate every possible weight
from 1 KG to 40 KG in  his shop. (only whole numbers 1KG, 2KG etc, not like
2.3KG)
"""

I thought it would really be good to solve it by python, and right now on
the mid-way solving using very dirty approach.
But I feel, using SETs with python in such would solve it better.
Can anyone come with good solution, and maybe solution showing usage of
Sets.
