Here's another approach:
config_defaults = dict(
server_host='localhost',
server_port=443,
# etc.
)
...
def __init__(self, config):
self.conf = types.SimpleNamespace(**{**config_defaults, **config})
This gives you defaults, simple attribute access, and avoids the risk of name
collisions that you get when updating __dict__.
Using a dataclass may be better:
@dataclasses.dataclass
class Settings:
group_base : str
server_host : str = 'localhost'
server_port : int = 443
...
def __init__(self, config):
self.conf = Settings(**config)
