That would still only give me 1 level and i would then have to manually parse out the arguments i was expecting. Continuing the example there is nothing in the current implementation stopping people from using {'address': {'street': '..', 'country': '..'}} So we can't just have the flat dictionary. (and i think wsme would fail if someone passed an integer value for example). What i'm kind of hoping for is some sort of remainder value in wsme such that i could define my base types: class User(object): id = wtypes.text email = wtypes.text and later have a user: >>> user.id '9da353d02c0546ab9b3b402f58c6ab0d' >>> user.email 'user@provider' >>> user.remainder {'address': {'country': '..', 'street': '..'}} now i'm obviously not expecting exactly that - but hoping for some kind of catch all that i can use.
