It might be marginally useful to save typing. The idea has been
discussed in various forms here quite a bit over the years. I doubt
there's any chance it'll be accepted into Python, because it goes
against one of the main design points of Python: that attributes
should always be accessed explicitly.
Having said that, the syntax you propose is awful. :) Normally when
this is proposed they use a keyword such as "using":
p = Person()
using p:
name = "Carl Banks"
location = "Los Angeles"
or, perhaps to save a line (even though it'd be a minor syntax abuse):
using Person() as p:
name = "Carl Banks"
location = "Los Angeles"
Carl Banks
