Then what you need is an interface transforming pseudo-keys into attr names. (I do that often, esp. for config objects read from text files in which the user only specifies differences from default -- then I can access config elements using object syntax -- seems to be similar to your expectations).
Just use setattr / getattr to build a generic class for such needs. It makes a flexible type for data "units" (composite objects); flexible in that the attr names are data themselves.
