Most objects have an attribute called '__dict__' that acts as a
container for the attributes of an object.
>>> class Container(object):
... pass
...
>>> container = Container()
>>> d = {"hello": "world"}
>>> container.__dict__.update(d)
>>> container.hello
'world'
You can also implemenet __getattr__() like:
def __getattr__(self, name):
try:
return self.data[name]
except KeyError:
raise AttributeError(name)
