This may be pretty obvious for most of you:
When I have an object (an instance of a class "Foo") I can access
attributes via dot notation:
aFoo.bar
however when I have a dictionary
aDict = {"bar":"something"}
I have to write
aDict["bar"]
What if I want to create a datastructure that can be used in dot
notation without having to create a class, i.e. because those objects
have no behavior at all?
I know that accessing an instance variable via bracket notation would
really have to be written as:
aFoo.__dict__['bar']
but this does not bring me any further, because I would still have to
plug in that __dict__ thing into my datastructure, which leads us to
the same question as above.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing here?
