语言本身不支持这一点，但有时这仍然是一个有用的需求。除了Bunch recipe，你还可以写一个小方法，可以使用虚线字符串访问字典:

def get_var(input_dict, accessor_string):
    """Gets data from a dictionary using a dotted accessor-string"""
    current_data = input_dict
    for chunk in accessor_string.split('.'):
        current_data = current_data.get(chunk, {})
    return current_data

这将支持如下内容:

>> test_dict = {'thing': {'spam': 12, 'foo': {'cheeze': 'bar'}}}
>> output = get_var(test_dict, 'thing.spam.foo.cheeze')
>> print output
'bar'
>>

kaggle_environments使用的实现是一个名为structify的函数。

class Struct(dict):
    def __init__(self, **entries):
        entries = {k: v for k, v in entries.items() if k != "items"}
        dict.__init__(self, entries)
        self.__dict__.update(entries)

    def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
        self.__dict__[attr] = value
        self[attr] = value

# Added benefit of cloning lists and dicts.
def structify(o):
    if isinstance(o, list):
        return [structify(o[i]) for i in range(len(o))]
    elif isinstance(o, dict):
        return Struct(**{k: structify(v) for k, v in o.items()})
    return o

这可能有助于在《ConnectX》等游戏中测试AI模拟代理

from kaggle_environments import structify

obs  = structify({ 'remainingOverageTime': 60, 'step': 0, 'mark': 1, 'board': [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]})
conf = structify({ 'timeout': 2, 'actTimeout': 2, 'agentTimeout': 60, 'episodeSteps': 1000, 'runTimeout': 1200, 'columns': 7, 'rows': 6, 'inarow': 4, '__raw_path__': '/kaggle_simulations/agent/main.py' })

def agent(obs, conf):
  action = obs.step % conf.columns
  return action

不是对OP问题的直接回答，但受到启发，也许对一些人有用。我已经创建了一个基于对象的解决方案使用内部__dict__(在任何方式优化代码)

我一直把它保存在util文件中。您也可以在自己的类中使用它作为mixin。

class dotdict(dict):
    """dot.notation access to dictionary attributes"""
    __getattr__ = dict.get
    __setattr__ = dict.__setitem__
    __delattr__ = dict.__delitem__

mydict = {'val':'it works'}
nested_dict = {'val':'nested works too'}
mydict = dotdict(mydict)
mydict.val
# 'it works'

mydict.nested = dotdict(nested_dict)
mydict.nested.val
# 'nested works too'

基于Kugel的回答，并考虑到Mike Graham的警告，如果我们制作一个包装器呢?

class DictWrap(object):
  """ Wrap an existing dict, or create a new one, and access with either dot 
    notation or key lookup.

    The attribute _data is reserved and stores the underlying dictionary.
    When using the += operator with create=True, the empty nested dict is 
    replaced with the operand, effectively creating a default dictionary
    of mixed types.

    args:
      d({}): Existing dict to wrap, an empty dict is created by default
      create(True): Create an empty, nested dict instead of raising a KeyError

    example:
      >>>dw = DictWrap({'pp':3})
      >>>dw.a.b += 2
      >>>dw.a.b += 2
      >>>dw.a['c'] += 'Hello'
      >>>dw.a['c'] += ' World'
      >>>dw.a.d
      >>>print dw._data
      {'a': {'c': 'Hello World', 'b': 4, 'd': {}}, 'pp': 3}

如果你想pickle你修改后的字典，你需要添加几个状态方法到上面的答案:

class DotDict(dict):
    """dot.notation access to dictionary attributes"""
    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        return self.get(attr)
    __setattr__= dict.__setitem__
    __delattr__= dict.__delitem__

    def __getstate__(self):
        return self

    def __setstate__(self, state):
        self.update(state)
        self.__dict__ = self
