class brainmaze_utils.types.ObjDict(VT_={})#

Dictionary which you can access a) as a dict; b) as a struct with attributes. Can use both foo adding and deleting attributes resp items. Inherits from dict

Missing keys are created on access (auto-vivification), both as items and as attributes, so nested structures can be built directly:

d = ObjDict()
d.cfg.sub = 3          # {'cfg': {'sub': 3}}
d['a']['b'] = 1        # {'cfg': ..., 'a': {'b': 1}}

A consequence (unchanged from v2.0.0): reading a missing public attribute creates it as an empty ObjDict, so hasattr(d, 'x') is always True for public names and creates 'x'; test membership with 'x' in d instead.

Names starting with an underscore (including dunders such as __deepcopy__) are never auto-created; reading a missing one raises AttributeError.

Note

Changed after v2.0.0: Dunder lookups used to auto-create keys too, so copy.deepcopy(), copy and pickle of an ObjDict failed ('ObjDict' object is not callable) and protocol probes (__array__, _repr_html_, …) added junk keys.
