Dynamic instance attributes

Question

Say i have a class:

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self,d):
        self.d=d

d={\'a\':1,\'b\':2}

inst=Foo(d)

inst.d
Out[315]: {\'a\': 1, \'b\': 2}
         


        

Answer 1

Here is a solution even more outlandish than the one offered by pythonm:

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self, d):
        self.__dict__ = d

Instead of using inst.d, use inst.__dict__ directly. An added benefit is that new keys added to d automatically become attributes. That's as dynamic as it gets.
