Does Python have anonymous classes?

Question

I\'m wondering if Python has anything like the C# anonymous classes feature. To clarify, here\'s a sample C# snippet:

var foo = new { x = 1, y = 2 };
var bar

I don't remember offhand if there's a built-in but writing it yourself is shorter than typing your question. :-)

class record(object):
  def __init__(self, **kwargs): self.__dict__ = kwargs
  def __eq__(self, r2): return self.__dict__ == r2.__dict__
  def __ne__(self, r2): return self.__dict__ != r2.__dict__

foo = record(x=1, y=2)
bar = record(y=2, x=1)
foo == bar  # => true
