Of course this whole thing of substituting attribute access for dictionary keys only works as long as the keys are strings with the same syntax as Python identifiers, so one shouldn't go completely overboard. "To the man with a hammer everything looks like a nail", and so on.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 ;-)
