I ended up trying BOTH the AttrDict and the Bunch libraries and found them to be way to slow for my uses. After a friend and I looked into it, we found that the main method for writing these libraries results in the library aggressively recursing through a nested object and making copies of the dictionary object throughout. With this in mind, we made two key changes. 1) We made attributes lazy-loaded 2) instead of creating copies of a dictionary object, we create copies of a light-weight proxy object. This is the final implementation. The performance increase of using this code is incredible. When using AttrDict or Bunch, these two libraries alone consumed 1/2 and 1/3 respectively of my request time(what!?). This code reduced that time to almost nothing(somewhere in the range of 0.5ms). This of course depends on your needs, but if you are using this functionality quite a bit in your code, definitely go with something simple like this.

class DictProxy(object):
    def __init__(self, obj):
        self.obj = obj

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return wrap(self.obj[key])

    def __getattr__(self, key):
        try:
            return wrap(getattr(self.obj, key))
        except AttributeError:
            try:
                return self[key]
            except KeyError:
                raise AttributeError(key)

    # you probably also want to proxy important list properties along like
    # items(), iteritems() and __len__

class ListProxy(object):
    def __init__(self, obj):
        self.obj = obj

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return wrap(self.obj[key])

    # you probably also want to proxy important list properties along like
    # __iter__ and __len__

def wrap(value):
    if isinstance(value, dict):
        return DictProxy(value)
    if isinstance(value, (tuple, list)):
        return ListProxy(value)
    return value

参见https://stackoverflow.com/users/704327/michael-merickel的原始实现。

另一件需要注意的事情是，这个实现非常简单，并且没有实现您可能需要的所有方法。您需要根据需要在DictProxy或ListProxy对象上写入这些内容。

我只需要使用虚线路径字符串访问字典，所以我想到了:

def get_value_from_path(dictionary, parts):
    """ extracts a value from a dictionary using a dotted path string """

    if type(parts) is str:
        parts = parts.split('.')

    if len(parts) > 1:
        return get_value_from_path(dictionary[parts[0]], parts[1:])

    return dictionary[parts[0]]

a = {'a':{'b':'c'}}
print(get_value_from_path(a, 'a.b')) # c

这是一个老问题，但我最近发现sklearn有一个可通过键访问的实现版本字典，即Bunch https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.utils.Bunch.html#sklearn.utils.Bunch

我不喜欢在(超过)10年前的火灾中添加另一个日志，但我也会检查dotwiz库，它是我最近发布的——实际上就在今年。

它是一个相对较小的库，在基准测试中，它在get(访问)和设置(创建)时间方面也表现得非常好，至少与其他备选方案相比是这样。

通过pip安装dotwiz

pip install dotwiz

它能做你想让它做的所有事情，并继承dict的子类，所以它的操作就像一个普通的字典:

from dotwiz import DotWiz

dw = DotWiz()
dw.hello = 'world'
dw.hello
dw.hello += '!'
# dw.hello and dw['hello'] now both return 'world!'
dw.val = 5
dw.val2 = 'Sam'

最重要的是，你可以将它转换为dict对象:

d = dw.to_dict()
dw = DotWiz(d) # automatic conversion in constructor

这意味着如果你想访问的东西已经是dict形式的，你可以把它变成一个dotwz来方便访问:

import json
json_dict = json.loads(text)
data = DotWiz(json_dict)
print data.location.city

最后，我正在做的一些令人兴奋的事情是一个现有的特性请求，这样它就会自动创建新的子DotWiz实例，这样你就可以做这样的事情:

dw = DotWiz()
dw['people.steve.age'] = 31

dw
# ✫(people=✫(steve=✫(age=31)))

与点图比较

我在下面添加了一个快速而粗略的性能比较。

首先，用pip安装两个库:

pip install dotwiz dotmap

为了进行基准测试，我编写了以下代码:

from timeit import timeit

from dotwiz import DotWiz
from dotmap import DotMap


d = {'hey': {'so': [{'this': {'is': {'pretty': {'cool': True}}}}]}}

dw = DotWiz(d)
# ✫(hey=✫(so=[✫(this=✫(is=✫(pretty={'cool'})))]))

dm = DotMap(d)
# DotMap(hey=DotMap(so=[DotMap(this=DotMap(is=DotMap(pretty={'cool'})))]))

assert dw.hey.so[0].this['is'].pretty.cool == dm.hey.so[0].this['is'].pretty.cool

n = 100_000

print('dotwiz (create):  ', round(timeit('DotWiz(d)', number=n, globals=globals()), 3))
print('dotmap (create):  ', round(timeit('DotMap(d)', number=n, globals=globals()), 3))
print('dotwiz (get):  ', round(timeit("dw.hey.so[0].this['is'].pretty.cool", number=n, globals=globals()), 3))
print('dotmap (get):  ', round(timeit("dm.hey.so[0].this['is'].pretty.cool", number=n, globals=globals()), 3))

结果，在我的M1 Mac上运行Python 3.10:

dotwiz (create):   0.189
dotmap (create):   1.085
dotwiz (get):   0.014
dotmap (get):   0.335

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

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}

  """

  def __init__(self, d=None, create=True):
    if d is None:
      d = {}
    supr = super(DictWrap, self)  
    supr.__setattr__('_data', d)
    supr.__setattr__('__create', create)

  def __getattr__(self, name):
    try:
      value = self._data[name]
    except KeyError:
      if not super(DictWrap, self).__getattribute__('__create'):
        raise
      value = {}
      self._data[name] = value

    if hasattr(value, 'items'):
      create = super(DictWrap, self).__getattribute__('__create')
      return DictWrap(value, create)
    return value

  def __setattr__(self, name, value):
    self._data[name] = value  

  def __getitem__(self, key):
    try:
      value = self._data[key]
    except KeyError:
      if not super(DictWrap, self).__getattribute__('__create'):
        raise
      value = {}
      self._data[key] = value

    if hasattr(value, 'items'):

      return DictWrap(value, create)
    return value

  def __setitem__(self, key, value):
    self._data[key] = value

  def __iadd__(self, other):
    if self._data:
      raise TypeError("A Nested dict will only be replaced if it's empty")
    else:
      return other
