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):

获得点访问(但不是数组访问)的一个简单方法是在Python中使用一个普通对象。是这样的:

class YourObject:
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        for k, v in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, k, v)

.．.像这样使用它:

>>> obj = YourObject(key="value")
>>> print(obj.key)
"value"

．.． 把它转换成字典:

>>> print(obj.__dict__)
{"key": "value"}

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。

class DotNotation(dict):
    
    __setattr__= dict.__setitem__
    __delattr__= dict.__delitem__

    def __init__(self, data):
        if isinstance(data, str):
            data = json.loads(data)
    
        for name, value in data.items():
            setattr(self, name, self._wrap(value))

    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        def _traverse(obj, attr):
            if self._is_indexable(obj):
                try:
                    return obj[int(attr)]
                except:
                    return None
            elif isinstance(obj, dict):
                return obj.get(attr, None)
            else:
                return attr
        if '.' in attr:
            return reduce(_traverse, attr.split('.'), self)
        return self.get(attr, None)

    def _wrap(self, value):
        if self._is_indexable(value):
            # (!) recursive (!)
            return type(value)([self._wrap(v) for v in value])
        elif isinstance(value, dict):
            return DotNotation(value)
        else:
            return value
    
    @staticmethod
    def _is_indexable(obj):
        return isinstance(obj, (tuple, list, set, frozenset))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_dict = {
        "dimensions": {
            "length": "112",
            "width": "103",
            "height": "42"
        },
        "meta_data": [
            {
                "id": 11089769,
                "key": "imported_gallery_files",
                "value": [
                    "https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/unnamed-3.jpg",
                    "https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/unnamed-2.jpg",
                    "https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/unnamed-4.jpg"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
    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'

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'

使用namedtuple允许点访问。

它就像一个轻量级对象，也具有元组的属性。

它允许定义属性并使用点操作符访问它们。

from collections import namedtuple
Data = namedtuple('Data', ['key1', 'key2'])

dataObj = Data(val1, key2=val2) # can instantiate using keyword arguments and positional arguments

使用点运算符访问

dataObj.key1 # Gives val1
datObj.key2 # Gives val2

使用元组索引进行访问

dataObj[0] # Gives val1
dataObj[1] # Gives val2

但记住这是一个元组;不是字典。因此下面的代码将给出错误

dataObj['key1'] # Gives TypeError: tuple indices must be integers or slices, not str

参考:namedtuple

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。
