[Chicago] REST API to Python Class?

[Aaron Elmquist]

I think it would be easy to load what I'm assuming is JSON into a python
dictionary and use it from there.

If you need an object with additional methods you could instantiate it from
the dictionary.  Something like:

class MyClass(object):
    def __init__(self, parameters):
        self.a = a
        ....

or you could get real fancy with setattr ... (maybe not a good idea though)

then you could load it with:

my_obj = MyClass(**dict_from_json_data)


Honestly, I think I would just work with the dictionary directly if I
could.
