What would you use to place a Python list into a feature attribute using the PythonCaller?

• A. fmeobjects.FMEFeature.setAttribute()
• B. fmeobjects.FMEFeature.getAttribute()
• C. fmeobjects.FMEFeature.buildAggregateFeat
• D. fmeobjects.FMERegex.findlist

Answer: (A)

Use the FMEFeature.setAttribute method to assign a value to a feature attribute. In a PythonCaller, you work with the current feature object (an FMEFeature). To store a Python list on an attribute, call feature.setAttribute('attributeName', myList). This writes the value into the feature, making the list accessible as that attribute downstream. The getAttribute method reads an attribute, not writes. The other two options are unrelated utilities.
