I rather like it! I prefer writing obj.spam to obj["spam"]! I wonder if there is a technical downside to this use of Python?
P.S. Certainly makes writing 'print obj.spam, obj.spam, obj.eggs, obj.bacon, obj.sausages, "and", obj.spam' a lot easier ;-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jive Sent: 17 December 2004 06:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Cool object trick Kinda cool. It's occured to me that just about everything Pythonic can be done with dicts and functions. Your Obj is just a dict with an alternate syntax. You don't have to put quotes around the keys. But that's cool. class struct(object): def __init__(self, **kwargs): self.__dict__.update(kwargs) # Indented this way, it looks like a struct: obj = struct( saying = "Nee" , something = "different" , spam = "eggs" ) print obj.spam # Is that really much different from this? obj2 = { "saying" : "Nee" , "something" : "different" , "spam" : "eggs" } print obj2["spam"] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
