I object to adding a new type to the stdlib just for this PEP. Since
iterating over the keys is significantly more useful than iterating
over the values, that suggests a dictionary as the most appropriate
type.
If someone *really* wants a quick way to get dotted access to the
contents of dictionary:
>>> data = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3)
>>> ns = type('', (), data)
>>> ns.a
1
>>> ns.b
2
>>> ns.c
3
Cheers,
Nick.
