Answer 1

class atdict(dict):
  def __init__(self, value, **kwargs):
    super().__init__(**kwargs)
    self.__dict = value

  def __getattr__(self, name):
    for key in self.__dict:
      if type(self.__dict[key]) is list:
        for idx, item in enumerate(self.__dict[key]):
          if type(item) is dict:
            self.__dict[key][idx] = atdict(item)
      if type(self.__dict[key]) is dict:
        self.__dict[key] = atdict(self.__dict[key])
    return self.__dict[name]



d1 = atdict({'a' : {'b': [{'c': 1}, 2]}})

print(d1.a.b[0].c)

And the output is:
