[Tutor] Function Programming Style

Hi,

my first bigger Python program led me think about the following problem:

I have to set informations and defined appropriate get and
set-functions eg. set_title, get_title, set_date, get_date. Now I
wonder, what to do, if I have to do something with the arguments passed
to the function. Maybe then a function like set(what, value) would be
better?

def set_title(value):
	modify(value)
	title = value

def set_date(value):
	modify(value)
	title = value
VS:

def set(what, value)
	modify(value)
	if what==title
		title = value
	elif what==date
		date = value

Regards, Kai
