copied!<p>I created this based on the input from this thread. I need to use odict though, so I had to override get and set attr. I think this should work for the majority of special uses.</p> <p>Usage looks like this:</p> <pre><code># Create an ordered dict normally... >>> od = OrderedAttrDict() >>> od["a"] = 1 >>> od["b"] = 2 >>> od OrderedAttrDict([('a', 1), ('b', 2)]) # Get and set data using attribute access... >>> od.a 1 >>> od.b = 20 >>> od OrderedAttrDict([('a', 1), ('b', 20)]) # Setting a NEW attribute only creates it on the instance, not the dict... >>> od.c = 8 >>> od OrderedAttrDict([('a', 1), ('b', 20)]) >>> od.c 8 </code></pre> <p>The class:</p> <pre><code>class OrderedAttrDict(odict.OrderedDict): """ Constructs an odict.OrderedDict with attribute access to data. Setting a NEW attribute only creates it on the instance, not the dict. Setting an attribute that is a key in the data will set the dict data but will not create a new instance attribute """ def __getattr__(self, attr): """ Try to get the data. If attr is not a key, fall-back and get the attr """ if self.has_key(attr): return super(OrderedAttrDict, self).__getitem__(attr) else: return super(OrderedAttrDict, self).__getattr__(attr) def __setattr__(self, attr, value): """ Try to set the data. If attr is not a key, fall-back and set the attr """ if self.has_key(attr): super(OrderedAttrDict, self).__setitem__(attr, value) else: super(OrderedAttrDict, self).__setattr__(attr, value) </code></pre> <p>This is a pretty cool pattern already mentioned in the thread, but if you just want to take a dict and convert it to an object that works with auto-complete in an IDE, etc:</p> <pre><code>class ObjectFromDict(object): def __init__(self, d): self.__dict__ = d </code></pre>
