Shortest way of creating an object with arbitrary attributes in Python?

Question

Hey, I just started wondering about this as I came upon a code that expected an object with a certain set of attributes (but with no specification of what type this object shoul

Answer 1

This works in 2.5, 2.6, and 3.1:

class Struct(object):
    pass

something = Struct()
something.awesome = abs

result = something.awesome(-42)

EDIT: I thought maybe giving the source would help out as well. http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html#odds-and-ends

EDIT: Added assignment to result, as I was using the interactive interpreters to verify, and you might not be.
