I read some discussion on this list before about how sometimes it's
useful to create a generic object class that you can just stick
attributes to. I was reading the PyPanel source (not written by me) and
I came across this:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
class Obj(object):
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
""" Multi-purpose class """
#----------------------------
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
#----------------------------
self.__dict__.u pdate(kwargs)
Normally I'd just use class Obj(object): pass, but the advantage to this
method is you can create an Obj like this:
Obj(id="desktop ", last=0, color=self.getC olor(DESKTOP_CO LOR))
You can pass all the attributes you want the object to have this way.
Nifty :)

Yup, that's basically what I was proposing in the pre-PEP: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pyt...er/252621.html
I've let it slide for a bit here, but my intent is to make a patch that
puts something like the pre-PEP class into the collections module and
then send in the PEP. I've been kinda busy recently, and it's not quite
trivial since Bunch is in Python and currently the collections module is
in C, but hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have the time.

Kinda cool.
It's occured to me that just about everything Pythonic can be done with
dicts and functions. Your Obj is just a dict with an alternate syntax. You
don't have to put quotes around the keys. But that's cool.
class struct(object):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.__dict__.u pdate(kwargs)
# Indented this way, it looks like a struct:
obj = struct( saying = "Nee"
, something = "different"
, spam = "eggs"
)
print obj.spam
# Is that really much different from this?
obj2 = { "saying" : "Nee"
, "something" : "different"
, "spam" : "eggs"
}
print obj2["spam"]
Jive wrote: # Is that really much different from this?
Functionally, no. However it can help make code more readable when
dealing with complex data structures, e.g. compare:
obj.spam[1].eggs[3].ham
to:
obj["spam"][1]["eggs"][3]["ham"]
I've used it a couple times for this particular reason and it
definitely has its niche; though I'm not sure it's sufficiently common
or useful to justify its inclusion it in the standard library, and it's
trivial to whip up as-and-when it's needed.
BTW & FWIW, I think the usual name for this kind of structure is
'record' (or 'struct' in C).

Look at the Code Snippet below:
It is not possible to Deserialize the Animal in animalStr directly
because the type of the animal is not known. Deserializing into the
abstract type will not work because the xml serilization in animalStr
contains more than an Animal, it contains either Cat or Dog. Is there a
neat way of dealing with deserilization of abstract types?

Hello
I want to create a kind of shared object. I have created a class,
Counter, which you can then import. Through the Counter class, i would
like to have access to a shared object.
Lets say that Counter contains only an int, initialised to 1. Each
time a class importing Counter would do Counter.getNextNumber(), the
getNextNumber() method would increase the local int, and return the
next number.
