I have a need to add module attributes at run time. For example, when a module is loaded, it reads the file where the data is contained. I would like that data to be available as a module attribute, but the data is only available at run time.
How can I add module attributes at run time?

Adding attributes to a Python class is very straight forward, you just use the '. ' operator after an instance of the class with whatever arbitrary name you want the attribute to be called, followed by its value.
dir() is a built-in function that also returns the list of all attributes and functions in a module.
Module attributes in Elixir serve three purposes: They serve to annotate the module, often with information to be used by the user or the VM . They work as constants. They work as a temporary module storage to be used during compilation.
Thanks @Dharmesh. That was what I needed. There is only one change that needs to be made. The module won't be importing itself so to get the module object I can do:
setattr(sys.modules[__name__], 'attr1', 'attr1')
