[BangPypers] Favorite tips/techniques

[Jeffrey Jose]

I've always found attribute access of dictionary a bit weird, and too much
Javascript-y. The latter by itself doesnt make it bad .. but something I
dont prefer generally.

And yes, property access wont work for keys that start with numbers. (Same
in JS)
