I did think about *trumping* one way or the other, but both *ugh*.
For the record, it sounded like the OP wanted to be able to use the
dot-notation for accessing fields by name, and I think it's a pretty
non-pythonic way to do it. I'd much rather just stick to purely
using __getitem__ for the fields and attributes/methods for non-fields.
It can't be *that* non-Pythonic -- we now have namedtuples which pretty
much behave just like my record class (although its indexes are only
numbers, not strings as well).
namedtuple prefixes its methods with "_", so you could just have:
record.name
and:
record._deleted
