How to create objects on the fly in python?

Question

How do I create objects on the fly in Python? I often want to pass information to my Django templates which is formatted like this:

{\'test\': [a1, a2, b2],          


        

Answer 1

The code below also require a class to be created however it is shorter:

 >>>d = {'test':['a1','a2','b2'], 'test2':'something else', 'test3':1}
 >>> class Test(object):
 ...  def __init__(self):
 ...   self.__dict__.update(d)
 >>> a = Test()
 >>> a.test
 ['a1', 'a2', 'b2']
 >>> a.test2
 'something else'
