Note that we do offer a simple namespace type:
>>> from types import SimpleNamespace as ns
>>> data = ns(a=1, b=2, c=3)
>>> data.a
1
>>> vars(data)["a"]
1
>>> vars(data)["a"] = 3
>>> data.a
3
It was added as part of adding sys.implementation, since it's the
storage type used for that:
>>> import sys
>>> type(sys.implementation)
<class 'types.SimpleNamespace'>
So the only thing we don't currently offer is a type that provides
both attribute access and mapping access on the *same* object - for
SimpleNamespace we require that you request the mapping API with
"vars(ns)".
Cheers,
Nick.
