Are there enough clues here?
class MyDict(dict):
def __getattribute__(self, name):
return dict.__getattribute__(self, name)
def __getattr__(self, name):
return self.get(name, 42)
x = MyDict({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'values': 3})
print x.a
print x.z
print x.values
Big question - what should the last line display? If you expect "3"
and not "<built-in method values of MyDict object at 0xbb82838c>" then
you need to reconsider the above implementation. Thinking about the
question may change your opinion about this being a good idea after all.
