Named tuple instances do not have per-instance dictionaries, so they are
lightweight and require no more memory than regular tuples.
+ For simple uses, where the only requirement is to be able to refer to a set
+ of values by name using attribute-style access, the
+ :class:`types.SimpleNamespace` type can be a suitable alternative to using
+ a namedtuple.
