class Bunch: def __init__(self, **kwds): self.__dict__.update(kwds) # that's it! Now, you can create a Bunch # whenever you want to group a few variables: point = Bunch(datum=y, squared=y*y, coord=x) # and of course you can read/write the named # attributes you just created, add others, del # some of them, etc, etc: if point.squared > threshold: point.isok = 1
