Here's my general-purpose solution for doing this:
class Dict2Class(object):
"""
Update like a dictionary, but expose the keys as class properties.
Sweet!
You can instantiate and update this practically any way you
choose, and
the values are available as class properties.
>>> c = Dict2Class((('fred', 11), ('joe', 88)), bob=9)
>>> c.bob
9
>>> c.joe
88
>>> c = Dict2Class({'bob': 88, 'fred': 9})
>>> c.fred
9
>>> c = Dict2Class()
>>> c.bob = 88
>>> c.bob
88
This subclasses plain old object. It could also subclass dict to
provide
even more functionality, but at the risk of naming collisions
between
the dict methods and property names.
"""
def __init__(self, *e, **f):
self.__dict__ = dict(*e, **f)
def update(self, *e, **f):
self.__dict__.update(*e, **f)
# Looks a little complex, but it rocks.
