I completely agree. I love namedtuples but I've never been too happy
about the additional overhead vs. plain tuples (both for creation and
attribute access times), to the point that I explicitly avoid to use
them in certain circumstances (e.g. a busy loop) and only for public
end-user APIs returning multiple values.
To be entirely honest, I'm not even sure why they need to be forcefully
declared upfront in the first place, instead of just having a
first-class function (builtin?) written in C:
>>> ntuple(x=1, y=0)
(x=1, y=0)
...or even a literal as in:
>>> (x=1, y=0)
(x=1, y=0)
Most of the times this is what I really want: quickly returning an
anonymous tuple with named attributes and nothing else, similarly to
os.times() & others. [...]
It seems that you want `types.SimpleNamespace(x=1, y=0)`.
