You have to be careful when using __getattr__, because it's used for a lot of builtin Python functionality.

Try something like this...

class JuspayObject:

    def __init__(self,response):
        self.__dict__['_response'] = response

    def __getattr__(self, key):
        # First, try to return from _response
        try:
            return self.__dict__['_response'][key]
        except KeyError:
            pass
        # If that fails, return default behavior so we don't break Python
        try:
            return self.__dict__[key]
        except KeyError:
            raise AttributeError, key

>>> j = JuspayObject({'foo': 'bar'})
>>> j.foo
'bar'
>>> j
