I also like this. I would like to spell it attrs, and I think its specification is class attrs: def __init__(self, obj): self.obj = obj def __getitem__(self, name): return getattr(self.obj, name) def __setitem__(self, name, value): return setattr(self.obj, name, value) def __delitem__(self, name): return delattr(self, name) def __contains__(self, name): return hasattr(self, name) It's so easy people can include in their code for backwards compatibility; in Python 2.6, it could be a highly-efficient builtin (you still pay for the lookup of the name 'attrs', of course).
