[BangPypers] Favorite tips/techniques

[Amit Sethi]

1.
I do like the accessing dict attributes as keys and specifically where they
make more sense as structure by itselfI do use

 class ABC(object):
    a = ''

     def __init__(self, **kwargs):
            self.__dict__.update(**kwargs)

2. When creating a dictionary of constants create it dynamically and
independently on an interpreter and then use pprint and use copy it in my
code
