Adding dynamic property to a python object -

site = object() mydict = {'name': 'my site', 'location': 'zhengjiang'} key, value in mydict.iteritems():     setattr(site, key, value) print site.a  # doesn't work 

the above code didn't work. suggestion?

the easiest way populate 1 dict the update() method, if extend object ensure object has __dict__ try this:

>>> class site(object): ...     pass ... >>> site = site() >>> site.__dict__.update(dict) >>> site.a 

or possibly even:

>>> class site(object): ...     def __init__(self,dict): ...         self.__dict__.update(dict) ... >>> site = site(dict) >>> site.a
