Sure, all you need to create is an *INSTANCE* of a suitable type or
class. For example:
>>> d = dict(foo=23, bar=45)
>>> m = new.module('for_martin')
>>> m.__dict__.update(d)
>>> m.foo
23
>>> m.bar
45
>>>
A module may be appropriate, since it's little more than a "wrapper
around a dict to access items by dot notation":-).
