Note that we do offer a simple namespace type: >>> from types import SimpleNamespace as ns >>> data = ns(a=1, b=2, c=3) >>> data.a 1 >>> vars(data)["a"] 1 >>> vars(data)["a"] = 3 >>> data.a 3 It was added as part of adding sys.implementation, since it's the storage type used for that: >>> import sys >>> type(sys.implementation) <class 'types.SimpleNamespace'> So the only thing we don't currently offer is a type that provides both attribute access and mapping access on the *same* object - for SimpleNamespace we require that you request the mapping API with "vars(ns)".
