Presuming it is very common to have objects created on the fly using some sort of external data definitions, is there an obvious common standard way to take a dict object and create an object whose attribute names are the keys from the dict?
I realize I can do something like: >>> d = {"hello": "world"} >>> x = type("", (object,), d)() >>> x.hello world but that seems like an arcane way to do something which would ideally be transparent... if there is a function in the standard library, that would be good, even if I have to import it. I guess there is collections.namedtuple... that would not look much prettier... but the main thing to me is for it to be the same way everybody else does it. I do not prefer the new object be a dict, but it would be ok. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
