A dictionary object with attributes support.
Install using pip:
$ pip install attributedict
Example:
from attributedict.collections import AttributeDict
data = AttributeDict({'foo': {'bar': [1, 2, 3]}})
data.foo # => `{'bar': [1, 2, 3]}}`
data.foo.bar # => `[1, 2, 3]`
data.foo = {'baz': True}
data.foo = # => `{'baz': True}`
del data.foo.baz
# and/or...
data = AttributeDict({'foo': {'bar': [1, 2, 3]}})
data['foo'] # => `{'bar': [1, 2, 3]}}`
data['foo']['bar'] # => `[1, 2, 3]`
data['foo'] = {'baz': True}
data['foo'] = # => `{'baz': True}`
del data['foo']['baz']
# instance of `dict`...
isinstance(data, dict) # => True
isinstance(data, attributedict.collections.AttributeDict) # => True
isinstance(data.__dict__, dict) # => True
isinstance(data.__dict__, attributedict.collections.AttributeDict) # => False
# no need for custom encoders...
data = AttributeDict({'foo': {'bar': [1, 2, 3]}})
json.dumps(data) # => `{"foo": {"bar": [1, 2, 3]}}`
json.dumps(data.__dict__) # => `{"foo": {"bar": [1, 2, 3]}}`
# etc.
