dictionary and __getattr__

[Emile van Sebille]

You could try:

>>> class myDict(UserDict):
...     def __getattr__(self, attr):
...             return self.data[attr]
...
>>> d = myDict()
>>> d['a'] = 'this is a'
>>> d.a
'this is a'

Wouldn't it be nice if this would work:

  d = {'x': 1}
  print d.x

i.e. every entry in a dictionary is also an attribute of the
dictionary itself.

Is there a class wrapper for that somewhere available?
