我认为字典由数字、字符串和字典组成，大多数时候就足够了。 所以我忽略了元组、列表和其他类型没有出现在字典的最后一个维度的情况。

考虑了继承，结合递归，方便地解决了打印问题，并提供了两种数据查询方式，一种数据编辑方式。

请看下面的例子，这是一个描述学生信息的词典:

group=["class1","class2","class3","class4",]
rank=["rank1","rank2","rank3","rank4","rank5",]
data=["name","sex","height","weight","score"]

#build a dict based on the lists above
student_dic=dict([(g,dict([(r,dict([(d,'') for d in data])) for r in rank ]))for g in group])

#this is the solution
class dic2class(dict):
    def __init__(self, dic):
        for key,val in dic.items():
            self.__dict__[key]=self[key]=dic2class(val) if isinstance(val,dict) else val


student_class=dic2class(student_dic)

#one way to edit:
student_class.class1.rank1['sex']='male'
student_class.class1.rank1['name']='Nan Xiang'

#two ways to query:
print student_class.class1.rank1
print student_class.class1['rank1']
print '-'*50
for rank in student_class.class1:
    print getattr(student_class.class1,rank)

结果:

{'score': '', 'sex': 'male', 'name': 'Nan Xiang', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': 'male', 'name': 'Nan Xiang', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
--------------------------------------------------
{'score': '', 'sex': '', 'name': '', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': '', 'name': '', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': 'male', 'name': 'Nan Xiang', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': '', 'name': '', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': '', 'name': '', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}

class Struct(dict):
    def __getattr__(self, name):
        try:
            return self[name]
        except KeyError:
            raise AttributeError(name)

    def __setattr__(self, name, value):
        self[name] = value

    def copy(self):
        return Struct(dict.copy(self))

用法:

points = Struct(x=1, y=2)
# Changing
points['x'] = 2
points.y = 1
# Accessing
points['x'], points.x, points.get('x') # 2 2 2
points['y'], points.y, points.get('y') # 1 1 1
# Accessing inexistent keys/attrs 
points['z'] # KeyError: z
points.z # AttributeError: z
# Copying
points_copy = points.copy()
points.x = 2
points_copy.x # 1

class Dict2Obj:
    def __init__(self, json_data):
        self.convert(json_data)

    def convert(self, json_data):
        if not isinstance(json_data, dict):
            return
        for key in json_data:
            if not isinstance(json_data[key], dict):
                self.__dict__.update({key: json_data[key]})
            else:
                self.__dict__.update({ key: Dict2Obj(json_data[key])})

我找不到嵌套字典到对象的实现，所以写了一个。

用法:

>>> json_data = {"a": {"b": 2}, "c": 3}
>>> out_obj = Dict2Obj(json_data)
>>> out_obj.a
<Dict2Obj object at 0x7f3dc22c2d68>
>>> out_obj.a.b
2
>>> out_obj.a.c
3

这是另一种将字典列表转换为对象的替代方法:

def dict2object(in_dict):
    class Struct(object):
        def __init__(self, in_dict):
            for key, value in in_dict.items():
                if isinstance(value, (list, tuple)):
                    setattr(
                        self, key,
                        [Struct(sub_dict) if isinstance(sub_dict, dict)
                         else sub_dict for sub_dict in value])
                else:
                    setattr(
                        self, key,
                        Struct(value) if isinstance(value, dict)
                        else value)
    return [Struct(sub_dict) for sub_dict in in_dict] \
        if isinstance(in_dict, list) else Struct(in_dict)

我不满意那些被标记和点赞的答案，所以这里有一个简单而通用的解决方案，用于将json风格的嵌套数据结构(由字典和列表组成)转换为普通对象的层次结构:

# tested in: Python 3.8
from collections import abc
from typings import Any, Iterable, Mapping, Union

class DataObject:
    def __repr__(self):
        return str({k: v for k, v in vars(self).items()})

def data_to_object(data: Union[Mapping[str, Any], Iterable]) -> object:
    """
    Example
    -------
    >>> data = {
    ...     "name": "Bob Howard",
    ...     "positions": [{"department": "ER", "manager_id": 13}],
    ... }
    ... data_to_object(data).positions[0].manager_id
    13
    """
    if isinstance(data, abc.Mapping):
        r = DataObject()
        for k, v in data.items():
            if type(v) is dict or type(v) is list:
                setattr(r, k, data_to_object(v))
            else:
                setattr(r, k, v)
        return r
    elif isinstance(data, abc.Iterable):
        return [data_to_object(e) for e in data]
    else:
        return data

老式问答，但我有更多的话题要谈。似乎没有人谈论递归字典。这是我的代码:

#!/usr/bin/env python

    def __init__( self, data = None ):
        super( Object, self ).__init__()
        if data:

    def __update( self, data, did ):
        dataid = id(data)
        did[ dataid ] = self

        for k in data:
            dkid = id(data[k])
            if did.has_key(dkid):
                self[k] = did[dkid]
            elif isinstance( data[k], Object ):
                self[k] = data[k]

                    elif isinstance(obj[k],list):
