Accessing dict keys like an attribute?

Question

I find it more convenient to access dict keys as obj.foo instead of obj[\'foo\'], so I wrote this snippet:

class AttributeDict(dict         


        

Answer 1

What if you wanted a key which was a method, such as __eq__ or __getattr__?

And you wouldn't be able to have an entry that didn't start with a letter, so using 0343853 as a key is out.

And what if you didn't want to use a string?
