How to add property to a class dynamically?

Question

The goal is to create a mock class which behaves like a db resultset.

So for example, if a database query returns, using a dict expression, {\'ab\':100, \'cd\'

Answer 1

You can use the following code to update class attributes using a dictionary object:

class ExampleClass():
    def __init__(self, argv):
        for key, val in argv.items():
            self.__dict__[key] = val

if __name__ == '__main__':
    argv = {'intro': 'Hello World!'}
    instance = ExampleClass(argv)
    print instance.intro
