这也适用于嵌套字典，并确保后面追加的字典行为相同:

class DotDict(dict):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        # Recursively turn nested dicts into DotDicts
        for key, value in self.items():
            if type(value) is dict:
                self[key] = DotDict(value)

    def __setitem__(self, key, item):
        if type(item) is dict:
            item = DotDict(item)
        super().__setitem__(key, item)

    __setattr__ = __setitem__
    __getattr__ = dict.__getitem__

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:

    except KeyError:

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)

通过pip安装dotmap

pip install dotmap

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 dotmap import DotMap

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

最重要的是，你可以将它转换为dict对象:

d = m.toDict()
m = DotMap(d) # automatic conversion in constructor

这意味着如果你想访问的东西已经是字典形式的，你可以把它转换成DotMap来方便访问:

import json
jsonDict = json.loads(text)
data = DotMap(jsonDict)
print data.location.city

最后，它会自动创建新的子DotMap实例，你可以这样做:

m = DotMap()
m.people.steve.age = 31

与Bunch的比较

完全公开:我是DotMap的创造者。我创建它是因为Bunch缺少这些功能

记住添加的顺序项并按此顺序迭代 自动创建子DotMap，当你有很多层次结构时，这节省了时间，并使代码更干净 从字典构造并递归地将所有子字典实例转换为DotMap

派生自dict和并实现__getattr__和__setattr__。

或者你也可以用Bunch，非常相似。

我不认为这是可能的monkeypatch内置字典类。

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
