Need suggestions.

Say, I have a namedtuple like this:

{'a': brucelee(x=123, y=321), 'b': brucelee('x'=123, 'y'=321)

I assume you mean:

{'a': brucelee(x=123, y=321), 'b': brucelee(x=123, y=321)}


I need to convert it to:

{'a': {'x':123, 'y': 321},'b': {'x':123, 'y': 321}}

You can get the field names using ._fields and the values by using
list(...):

>>> n = brucelee(x=123, y=321)
>>> n._fields
('x', 'y')
>>> list(n)
[123, 321]

Zip then together and pass the result to dict:

>>> dict(zip(n._fields, list(n)))
{'x': 123, 'y': 321}

And, finally, putting that in a dict comprehension:

>>> n = {'a': brucelee(x=123, y=321), 'b': brucelee(x=123, y=321)}
>>> {k: dict(zip(v._fields, list(v))) for k, v in n.items()}
{'a': {'x': 123, 'y': 321}, 'b': {'x': 123, 'y': 321}}

Follow-up question --

Which would be easier to work with if I had to later extract/manipulate the 
'x', 'y' values? The format (dicts) above or a list of values like this:

{'a': ['x':123, 'y': 321],'b': ['x':123, 'y': 321]}

That's not valid Python!
