[Python-ideas] question - 'bag' type

[C. Titus Brown]

Hi all,

this seems like the right forum to ask -- is there a reason why Python
doesn't have a 'bag' builtin type, e.g.

   b = bag(foo=bar, baz=bif)

   assert b.foo == bar
   assert b.bz == bif

?

It's easy to write and there's a great discussion over at the cookbook:

Inquiring minds want to know!

thanks,
