Hi, I have a series of parameter values which i need to pass throughout my code (>100), in C I would use a structure for example. However in python it is not clear to me if it would be better to use a dictionary or build a class object? Personally I think accessing the values is neater (visually) with an object rather than a dictionary, e.g.
x = params['price_of_cats'] * params['price_of_elephants'] vs. x = params.price_of_cats * params.price_of_elephants So currently I am building a series of class objects to hold different parameters and then passing these through my code, e.g. class EmptyObject: pass self.animal_prices = EmptyObject() self.price_of_cats = 12 or reading a file and populating the object I would be keen to hear any reasons why this is a bad approach (if it is, I haven't managed to work this out)? Or perhaps there is a better one? thanks Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
