Taking what I feel are the best aspects of the previous examples, here's what I came up with:

class Struct:
  '''The recursive class for building and representing objects with.'''

      if isinstance(v, dict):
        setattr(self, k, Struct(v))
      else:
        setattr(self, k, v)
  def __getitem__(self, val):
    return self.__dict__[val]
  def __repr__(self):
    return '{%s}' % str(', '.join('%s : %s' % (k, repr(v)) for
      (k, v) in self.__dict__.iteritems()))
