Akira Li added the comment:

People do have problems that SimpleNamespace can solve:

- Why Python does not support record type i.e. mutable namedtuple [1]
- Does Python have anonymous classes? [2]
- How to create inline objects with properties in Python? [3]
- python create object and add attributes to it [4]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I use SimpleNamespace in just about every project I'm currently working on.  I 
would *not* say that their uptake is "nearly zero" :)

And yes, I wouldn't be aware of it if I hadn't been following python-dev when 
it was introduced, and had (before it was introduced) written my own variations 
numerous times.

> Also, the uptake for SNs are nearly zero.

That suggests to me that pointing users to it could help. It's currently hidden 
in the types module and if I didn't know it existed, I could end up looking in 
collections, and failing to find it there, write my own.

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

The NT docs are already very long and I don't think an additional crossref is 
beneficial (NTs are closer to tuples and SNs are closer to dicts).   Also, the 
uptake for SNs are nearly zero.

[Chris Rebert]

New submission from Chris Rebert:

There is a cross-reference to namedtuple in SimpleNamespace's docs, but not 
vice-versa, despite these types being fairly similar.
