Recursively access dict via attributes as well as index access?

Question

I\'d like to be able to do something like this:

from dotDict import dotdictify

life = {\'bigBang\':
           {\'stars\':
               {\'planets\': []}
         


        

Answer 1

Here is another solution:

from typing import Dict, Any

class PropertyTree: pass

def dict_to_prop_tree(yaml_config: Dict[str, Any]) -> PropertyTree:
    tree = PropertyTree()
    for key, value in yaml_config.items():
        if type(value) == dict:
            setattr(tree, key, dict_to_obj_tree(value))
        elif type(value) == list:
            setattr(tree, key, [dict_to_obj_tree(v) for v in value])
        else:
            setattr(tree, key, value)
    return tree

Then in the python console:

d={'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': {'d': 4, 'e': 5, 'f': {'g': 6}, 'h': {}, 'j': 7}}
tree=dict_to_prop_tree(d)
tree.a
tree.c.f.g

prints the correct values
