[Python] PYKX not allowing to change Python attribute

I am trying to do the following:

import pykx
old=":hostort:userld"
pykx.q.my_handle=old

new=":hostort:user:new"
pykx.q.my_handle=new



The above works as expected. If I then try to access vía Python or directly from Q memory I would get the string in the new var.

print(pykx.q.my_handle)
print(pykx.q('string .my_handle'))


However, if I access the attribute (for any reason) before setting It to new value then something weird happens:

import pykx
old=":hostort:userld"
pykx.q.my_handle=old

print(f"my handled: {pykx.q.my_handle}")

new=":hostort:user:new"
pykx.q.my_handle=new

#prints old
print(pykx.q.my_handle)

#prints new
print(pykx.q("string .my_handle"))



Anyone knows why?

Note my handle has to be refreshed with new password/token whenever needed, in theory I vannot think about a use case, yet, where I need the Python attribute to be updated, since accesses from Q memory are working fine, however It feels veeery wrong.
