Simplifying radically, you are doing:
def __setattr__(self, attr, k):
if attr == "var1":
self.var1 = k
The last line here sets the var1 attribute, and that goes through your
__setattr__() method again; henct the recursion error. You need to
bypass the __setattr__() method with something like:
self.__dict__['var1'] = k
