Convert hash to struct

[Jason]

Here's my general-purpose solution for doing this:

class Dict2Class(object):
    """
    Update like a dictionary, but expose the keys as class properties.
Sweet!
    You can instantiate and update this practically any way you
choose, and
    the values are available as class properties.
    >>> c = Dict2Class((('fred', 11), ('joe', 88)), bob=9)
    >>> c.bob
    9
    >>> c.joe
    88

    >>> c = Dict2Class({'bob': 88, 'fred': 9})
    >>> c.fred
    9

    >>> c = Dict2Class()
    >>> c.bob = 88
    >>> c.bob
    88

    This subclasses plain old object. It could also subclass dict to
provide
    even more functionality, but at the risk of naming collisions
between
    the dict methods and property names.
    """
    def __init__(self, *e, **f):
        self.__dict__ = dict(*e, **f)
    def update(self, *e, **f):
        self.__dict__.update(*e, **f)
    # Looks a little complex, but it rocks.
