If anyone has strong feelings for item-access over attribute-access, please elaborate.  I'm just not seeing it as that important and would rather finish up the PEP as simply as possible.

I object to adding a new type to the stdlib just for this PEP. Since iterating over the keys is significantly more useful than iterating over the values, that suggests a dictionary as the most appropriate type.

If someone really wants a quick way to get dotted access to the contents of dictionary:

data = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3) ns = type('', (), data) ns.a 1 ns.b 2 ns.c 3

Cheers, Nick.
