ISTM to be a companion to collections.namedtuple. IWBNI this new type was
also exposed in the collections module.

I like Alex Martelli's approach, which I recall was exactly this:

class namespace:

def __init__(**kwargs):

self.__dict__ = kwargs

That means all the initializers you pass in to the constructor get
turned into members.
