Accessing dict keys like an attribute?

Question

I find it more convenient to access dict keys as obj.foo instead of obj[\'foo\'], so I wrote this snippet:

class AttributeDict(dict         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way is to define a class let's call it Namespace. which uses the object dict.update() on the dict. Then, the dict will be treated as an object.

class Namespace(object):
    '''
    helps referencing object in a dictionary as dict.key instead of dict['key']
    '''
    def __init__(self, adict):
        self.__dict__.update(adict)



Person = Namespace({'name': 'ahmed',
                     'age': 30}) #--> added for edge_cls


print(Person.name)
