I\'m very new to python and I wish I could do .
notation to access values of a dict
.
Lets say I have test
like this:
In addition to this answer, one can add support for nested dicts as well:
from types import SimpleNamespace
class NestedNamespace(SimpleNamespace):
def __init__(self, dictionary, **kwargs):
super().__init__(**kwargs)
for key, value in dictionary.items():
if isinstance(value, dict):
self.__setattr__(key, NestedNamespace(value))
else:
self.__setattr__(key, value)
nested_namespace = NestedNamespace({
'parent': {
'child': {
'grandchild': 'value'
}
},
'normal_key': 'normal value',
})
print(nested_namespace.parent.child.grandchild) # value
print(nested_namespace.normal_key) # normal value
Note that this does not support dot notation for dicts that are somewhere inside e.g. lists.
