Mainly for learning purpose and Python better understanding.
Actually, I have a class of mine for drawing graphs with the Graphviz 
software. The nodes of the graph to be represented was supposed to have 
2 attributes, say title and shortName. Now, I want to plot a graph whose 
nodes are pure string. So to fit the class interface, I was trying to 
add title and shortName attribute to every string node.
