How to use function updateAttrs

Hi Mike,

updateAttrs is used mainly in serialization (saving/loading) of objects. In
your case, you can directly use

O.bodies[10000].state.pos = (0,0,0)

if you want to use updateAttrs, is accepts dictionary, whose keys are
srting names of attributes. So it could be

O.bodies[10000].state.updateAttrs({"pos":(0,0,0)})

However, it does not work. Sometimes the variables (like pos) are
internally treated in different way, e.g. pos is one part od Se3 instance,
containing position and orientation, so setting position with updateAttrs
would look like:

s = O.bodies[10000].state
s.updateAttrs({"se3":((0,0,0),s.ori)}) # (0,0,0) is new position, one part
of se3, the other part being orientation

As a conclusion, I would suggest to try to avoid using updateAttrs if
possible :-)

cheers
