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

此解决方案是对epool提供的解决方案的改进，以满足OP以一致的方式访问嵌套字典的需求。epool的解决方案不允许访问嵌套字典。

class YAMLobj(dict):
    def __init__(self, args):
        super(YAMLobj, self).__init__(args)
        if isinstance(args, dict):
            for k, v in args.iteritems():
                if not isinstance(v, dict):
                    self[k] = v
                else:
                    self.__setattr__(k, YAMLobj(v))


    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        return self.get(attr)

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        self.__setitem__(key, value)

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        super(YAMLobj, self).__setitem__(key, value)
        self.__dict__.update({key: value})

    def __delattr__(self, item):
        self.__delitem__(item)

    def __delitem__(self, key):
        super(YAMLobj, self).__delitem__(key)
        del self.__dict__[key]

使用这个类，现在可以执行如下操作:A.B.C.D.

这是我对@derek73的回答。我用字典。__getitem__作为__getattr__，因此它仍然抛出KeyError，并且im重命名字典公共方法以“”前缀(“”包围导致特殊方法名称冲突，如__get__将被视为一个描述符方法)。无论如何，由于关键的dict基方法，您无法将键作为属性获得完全清晰的命名空间，因此解决方案并不完美，但您可以拥有键属性，如get, pop, items等。

你可以从DotDict命名空间中删除dict方法，并继续使用dict类方法，当你想操作其他dict实例并希望使用相同的方法而不需要额外检查它是否为DotDict时，它也很有用。

dct = dict(a=1)
dot_dct = DotDict(b=2)
foo = {c: i for i, c in enumerate('xyz')}
for d in (dct, dot_dct):
    # you would have to use dct.update and dot_dct.__update methods
    dict.update(d, foo)
    
assert dict.get(dot, 'foo', 0) is 0

这是我从很久以前的一个项目里挖出来的。它可能还可以再优化一点，但就是这样了。

                except:
                    return None
            elif isinstance(obj, dict):
                return obj.get(attr, None)
            else:

        if '.' in attr:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_dict = {

                ]
            }
        ]
    }
    dotted_dict = DotNotation(test_dict)
    print(dotted_dict.dimensions.length) # => '112'
    print(getattr(dotted_dict, 'dimensions.length')) # => '112'
    print(dotted_dict.meta_data[0].key) # => 'imported_gallery_files'
    print(getattr(dotted_dict, 'meta_data.0.key')) # => 'imported_gallery_files'
    print(dotted_dict.meta_data[0].value) # => ['link1','link2','link2']
    print(getattr(dotted_dict, 'meta_data.0.value')) # => ['link1','link2','link3']
    print(dotted_dict.meta_data[0].value[2]) # => 'link3'
    print(getattr(dotted_dict, 'meta_data.0.value.2')) # => 'link3'

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。
