[Python-Dev] Re: Improvement to SimpleNamespace

[Serhiy]

As a workaround you can use

object_hook=lambda x: SimpleNamespace(**x)

That doesn't suffice because some valid JSON keys are not valid identifiers. You still need a way to get past those when they arise: catalog.books.fiction['Paradise Lost'].isbn Also, it still leaves you with using setattr(ns, attrname, attrvalue) or tricks with vars() when doing updates. The AttrDict recipe is popular for a reason. Raymond
