OK, that is a difference. I don't really understand why it's desirable,
but I see the difference.
I can make that happen with a metaclass that would allow:
class A(MagicNamespace):
class B:
C = 1
A.__dict__ == {'B.C': 1, 'B': <class 'module.B'>}
So that wouldn't be identical in the repr(), but is there something else
important here?
In general, I find it anathema to add syntax for something that is easily
handled by existing inheritance mechanisms. If I want to, I can even make
every class defined within the body of a MagicNamespace magically become a
MagicNamespace too, if that's a thing someone wants.
Actually, I might not even need a metaclass, a MagicNamespace.__new__()
method might be adequate. I haven't fully thought it out.
