If I'm using a dictionary to store variables for an object, and accessing the variable values from dictionary via property decorators, would it be better to derive the class from object or dict?class Test1(object): def __init__(self): self.state = {'key': 'value'} Or: class Test2(dict): def __init__(self): self.__dict__ = {'key', 'value'} I haven't seen a good pro/con discussion on the Internet for using one over the other. I played with both in my code. Doesn't seem to make a great difference either way. Using object seems to be the most simplest approach.
Using a dict gets you a bunch of methods for free: keys(), values(), items(), get(), etc., etc..
If you don't need any of those, subclass object. -- ~Ethan~ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
