I do use it, even when I don't know the attribute names, see how:
from collections import namedtuple
def build_namespace_tuple(nsmap):
"""nsmap is a dictionary of XML namespaces (from lxml)"""
namespaces = namedtuple('namespaces', ' '.join(nsmap.keys()))
return namespaces(*['{%s}' % x for x in nsmap.values()])
If I didn't need the dict values wrapped in {} I could've just used:
return namespaces(*nsmap.values())
and it's all fine, just completely immutable, which is not always
desirable.
