How do you like this one:

>>> class Struct:
        def __init__(self, **args):
                self.__dict__=args


>>> p = Struct(x=10,y=11,color='blue')
>>> p.x
10
>>> p.y
11
>>> p.color
'blue'
>>> p.__dict__
{'color': 'blue', 'y': 11, 'x': 10}
>>> p.color='red'
>>> p.__dict__
{'color': 'red', 'y': 11, 'x': 10}
>>> p.color
'red'
>>>
