Normally I'd just use class Obj(object): pass, but the advantage to this method is you can create an Obj like this:
Obj(id="desktop", last=0, color=self.getColor(DESKTOP_COLOR))
You can pass all the attributes you want the object to have this way. Nifty :)
Yup, that's basically what I was proposing in the pre-PEP:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-November/252621.html
I've let it slide for a bit here, but my intent is to make a patch that puts something like the pre-PEP class into the collections module and then send in the PEP. I've been kinda busy recently, and it's not quite trivial since Bunch is in Python and currently the collections module is in C, but hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have the time.
