Using a class as a data container

Question

Sometimes it makes sense to cluster related data together. I tend to do so with a dict, e.g.,

self.group = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3)
print self.group[\'a\']
         


        

Answer 1

If you're really never defining any class methods, a dict or a namedtuple make far more sense, in my opinion. Simple+builtin is good! To each his own, though.
