I assume that the motive is to get rid of the quotes around the key and
conceptually treat it as a "symbol" rather than as a string. If that is
the case it could apply to access as well as initialization.
class record(dict):
def __init__(self, __initfrom=(), **kw):
self.__dict__ = self
dict.__init__(self, __initfrom)
self.update(kw)
def __repr__(self):
return "%s(%s)" % (self.__class__.__name__,
', '.join(['%s=%s' % (k, repr(v)) for k,v in self.items()]))
Fields can be accessed as either items or attributes of a record object.
