What is the fastest (to access) struct-like object in Python?

Question

I\'m optimizing some code whose main bottleneck is running through and accessing a very large list of struct-like objects. Currently I\'m using namedtuples, for readability

Answer 1

You can make your classes sequence like by adding __iter__, and __getitem__ methods, to make them sequence like (indexable and iterable.)

Would an OrderedDict work? There are several implementations available, and it is included in the Python31 collections module.
