That's pretty good, but it does clone the dict unnecessarily. I prefer:

class AttrDict(object):
  def __init__(self, adict):
    self.__dict__ = adict #a reference, not a copy
  def __getattr__(self, attr):
    if hasattr(dict, attr): #built-in methods of dict...
      return getattr(self.__dict__, attr) #...are bound directly to the dict
    else:
      try:
        return self.__dict__[attr]
      except KeyError:
        raise AttributeError(attr)
