It's called a super class but it doesn't quite work like a normal class. >>> OBJ = object() >>> OBJ.x = 3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'object' object has no attribute 'x'
I can fix this by creating a NULL class. >>> class NullObject(object): pass ... >>> OBJ = NullObject() >>> OBJ.x = 3 >>> OBJ.x 3 >>> Is this behaviour (object not quite like a class) documented anywhere? Does anyone know the rationale for this if any? In case anyone wants to know why I am doing this, sometimes I simply want an object to hold values that I can pass around. I don't need methods and I don't always know what variables I am going to need. And yes, I know that dict is the usual way to do this. -- D'Arcy J.M.
