我发现它更方便访问字典键作为obj。foo而不是obj['foo'],所以我写了这个片段:

class AttributeDict(dict):
    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        return self[attr]
    def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
        self[attr] = value

然而,我认为一定有一些原因,Python没有提供开箱即用的功能。以这种方式访问字典键的注意事项和缺陷是什么?


当前回答

解决方案是:

DICT_RESERVED_KEYS = vars(dict).keys()


class SmartDict(dict):
    """
    A Dict which is accessible via attribute dot notation
    """
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        :param args: multiple dicts ({}, {}, ..)
        :param kwargs: arbitrary keys='value'

        If ``keyerror=False`` is passed then not found attributes will
        always return None.
        """
        super(SmartDict, self).__init__()
        self['__keyerror'] = kwargs.pop('keyerror', True)
        [self.update(arg) for arg in args if isinstance(arg, dict)]
        self.update(kwargs)

    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        if attr not in DICT_RESERVED_KEYS:
            if self['__keyerror']:
                return self[attr]
            else:
                return self.get(attr)
        return getattr(self, attr)

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        if key in DICT_RESERVED_KEYS:
            raise AttributeError("You cannot set a reserved name as attribute")
        self.__setitem__(key, value)

    def __copy__(self):
        return self.__class__(self)

    def copy(self):
        return self.__copy__()

其他回答

最简单的方法是定义一个类,我们称之为Namespace。在字典上使用对象dict.update()。然后,字典将被视为一个对象。

class Namespace(object):
    '''
    helps referencing object in a dictionary as dict.key instead of dict['key']
    '''
    def __init__(self, adict):
        self.__dict__.update(adict)



Person = Namespace({'name': 'ahmed',
                     'age': 30}) #--> added for edge_cls


print(Person.name)

解决方案是:

DICT_RESERVED_KEYS = vars(dict).keys()


class SmartDict(dict):
    """
    A Dict which is accessible via attribute dot notation
    """
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        :param args: multiple dicts ({}, {}, ..)
        :param kwargs: arbitrary keys='value'

        If ``keyerror=False`` is passed then not found attributes will
        always return None.
        """
        super(SmartDict, self).__init__()
        self['__keyerror'] = kwargs.pop('keyerror', True)
        [self.update(arg) for arg in args if isinstance(arg, dict)]
        self.update(kwargs)

    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        if attr not in DICT_RESERVED_KEYS:
            if self['__keyerror']:
                return self[attr]
            else:
                return self.get(attr)
        return getattr(self, attr)

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        if key in DICT_RESERVED_KEYS:
            raise AttributeError("You cannot set a reserved name as attribute")
        self.__setitem__(key, value)

    def __copy__(self):
        return self.__class__(self)

    def copy(self):
        return self.__copy__()

使用SimpleNamespace:

from types import SimpleNamespace

obj = SimpleNamespace(color="blue", year=2050)

print(obj.color) #> "blue"
print(obj.year) #> 2050

编辑/更新:对OP的问题的更近的答案,从字典开始:

from types import SimpleNamespace

params = {"color":"blue", "year":2020}

obj = SimpleNamespace(**params)

print(obj.color) #> "blue"
print(obj.year) #> 2050

你可以从标准库中获取一个方便的容器类:

from argparse import Namespace

避免复制代码位。没有标准的字典访问,但如果你真的想要的话,很容易得到一个。argparse中的代码很简单,

class Namespace(_AttributeHolder):
    """Simple object for storing attributes.

    Implements equality by attribute names and values, and provides a simple
    string representation.
    """

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        for name in kwargs:
            setattr(self, name, kwargs[name])

    __hash__ = None

    def __eq__(self, other):
        return vars(self) == vars(other)

    def __ne__(self, other):
        return not (self == other)

    def __contains__(self, key):
        return key in self.__dict__

更新- 2020年

自从这个问题在大约十年前被提出以来,Python本身已经发生了相当大的变化。

虽然我最初回答中的方法在某些情况下仍然有效,(例如,遗留项目坚持使用旧版本的Python,以及在某些情况下,您确实需要处理具有非常动态字符串键的字典),但我认为一般来说,Python 3.7中引入的数据类是AttrDict绝大多数用例的明显/正确的解决方案。

原来的答案

最好的方法是:

class AttrDict(dict):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(AttrDict, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.__dict__ = self

一些优点:

它真的有用! 没有字典类方法被遮蔽(例如.keys()工作得很好。除非-当然-你给它们赋值,见下文) 属性和项总是同步的 试图将不存在的key作为属性访问会正确地引发AttributeError而不是KeyError 支持[Tab]自动补全(例如在jupyter和ipython中)

缺点:

如果.keys()等方法被传入的数据覆盖,它们就不能正常工作 在Python < 2.7.4 / Python3 < 3.2.3中导致内存泄漏 Pylint因为E1123(意外关键字参数)和E1103(可能没有成员)而抓狂 对于外行来说,这似乎是纯粹的魔法。

简要解释一下它是如何工作的

All python objects internally store their attributes in a dictionary that is named __dict__. There is no requirement that the internal dictionary __dict__ would need to be "just a plain dict", so we can assign any subclass of dict() to the internal dictionary. In our case we simply assign the AttrDict() instance we are instantiating (as we are in __init__). By calling super()'s __init__() method we made sure that it (already) behaves exactly like a dictionary, since that function calls all the dictionary instantiation code.

Python没有开箱即用提供此功能的原因之一

正如“cons”列表中所指出的,这将存储键的名称空间(可能来自任意和/或不受信任的数据!)与内置dict方法属性的名称空间结合在一起。例如:

d = AttrDict()
d.update({'items':["jacket", "necktie", "trousers"]})
for k, v in d.items():    # TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
    print "Never reached!"
