converting dict to object

[rieh25]

If I have a dictionary such as:

d = {'a' : 1, 'b' : 2}

is there a way to convert it into an object o, such as:

o.a = 1
o.b = 2

thanks

Rather, the question could be asked the other way around: how can you
convert that object into a dict?

The attributes in 'o' are part of its '__dict__' attribute, which is a
dictionary. That is,

o.a = 1

is equivalent to

o.__dict__['a'] = 1

If you already have a dictionary 'd', you can overlay it onto the object's
attributes with

o.__dict__.upda te(d)
