I believe this is what you are looking for: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/361668 olle = attrdict(name = "Olle", birthday = date(2222, 12, 1), children = 329) print olle.name, olle.birthday, olle.children It is not identical to the Ruby recipe, but is IMHO better. Being able to instantiate objects on the fly, without having to explicitly declare the class, is a big advantage. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
