我正在寻找一种优雅的方式来获得数据使用属性访问字典与一些嵌套的字典和列表(即javascript风格的对象语法)。

例如:

>>> d = {'a': 1, 'b': {'c': 2}, 'd': ["hi", {'foo': "bar"}]}

应该以这样的方式访问:

>>> x = dict2obj(d)
>>> x.a
1
>>> x.b.c
2
>>> x.d[1].foo
bar

我想,如果没有递归,这是不可能的,但是有什么更好的方法来获得字典的对象样式呢?

下面是执行SilentGhost最初建议的另一种方法:

def dict2obj(d):
  if isinstance(d, dict):
    n = {}
    for item in d:
      if isinstance(d[item], dict):
        n[item] = dict2obj(d[item])
      elif isinstance(d[item], (list, tuple)):
        n[item] = [dict2obj(elem) for elem in d[item]]
      else:
        n[item] = d[item]
    return type('obj_from_dict', (object,), n)
  else:
    return d

class Struct(dict):
    def __getattr__(self, name):
        try:
            return self[name]
        except KeyError:
            raise AttributeError(name)

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

    def copy(self):
        return Struct(dict.copy(self))

用法:

points = Struct(x=1, y=2)
# Changing
points['x'] = 2
points.y = 1
# Accessing
points['x'], points.x, points.get('x') # 2 2 2
points['y'], points.y, points.get('y') # 1 1 1
# Accessing inexistent keys/attrs 
points['z'] # KeyError: z
points.z # AttributeError: z
# Copying
points_copy = points.copy()
points.x = 2
points_copy.x # 1

我认为字典由数字、字符串和字典组成,大多数时候就足够了。 所以我忽略了元组、列表和其他类型没有出现在字典的最后一个维度的情况。

考虑了继承,结合递归,方便地解决了打印问题,并提供了两种数据查询方式,一种数据编辑方式。

请看下面的例子,这是一个描述学生信息的词典:

group=["class1","class2","class3","class4",]
rank=["rank1","rank2","rank3","rank4","rank5",]
data=["name","sex","height","weight","score"]

#build a dict based on the lists above
student_dic=dict([(g,dict([(r,dict([(d,'') for d in data])) for r in rank ]))for g in group])

#this is the solution
class dic2class(dict):
    def __init__(self, dic):
        for key,val in dic.items():
            self.__dict__[key]=self[key]=dic2class(val) if isinstance(val,dict) else val


student_class=dic2class(student_dic)

#one way to edit:
student_class.class1.rank1['sex']='male'
student_class.class1.rank1['name']='Nan Xiang'

#two ways to query:
print student_class.class1.rank1
print student_class.class1['rank1']
print '-'*50
for rank in student_class.class1:
    print getattr(student_class.class1,rank)

结果:

{'score': '', 'sex': 'male', 'name': 'Nan Xiang', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': 'male', 'name': 'Nan Xiang', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
--------------------------------------------------
{'score': '', 'sex': '', 'name': '', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': '', 'name': '', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': 'male', 'name': 'Nan Xiang', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': '', 'name': '', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}
{'score': '', 'sex': '', 'name': '', 'weight': '', 'height': ''}

以下是我认为前面例子中最好的方面:

class Struct:
    """The recursive class for building and representing objects with."""

    def __init__(self, obj):
        for k, v in obj.items():
            if isinstance(v, dict):
                setattr(self, k, Struct(v))
            else:
                setattr(self, k, v)

    def __getitem__(self, val):
        return self.__dict__[val]

    def __repr__(self):
        return '{%s}' % str(', '.join('%s : %s' % (k, repr(v)) for (k, v) in self.__dict__.items()))

下面是执行SilentGhost最初建议的另一种方法:

def dict2obj(d):
  if isinstance(d, dict):
    n = {}
    for item in d:
      if isinstance(d[item], dict):
        n[item] = dict2obj(d[item])
      elif isinstance(d[item], (list, tuple)):
        n[item] = [dict2obj(elem) for elem in d[item]]
      else:
        n[item] = d[item]
    return type('obj_from_dict', (object,), n)
  else:
    return d

你可以使用一个自定义对象钩子来利用标准库的json模块:

import json

class obj(object):
    def __init__(self, dict_):
        self.__dict__.update(dict_)

def dict2obj(d):
    return json.loads(json.dumps(d), object_hook=obj)

使用示例:

>>> d = {'a': 1, 'b': {'c': 2}, 'd': ['hi', {'foo': 'bar'}]}
>>> o = dict2obj(d)
>>> o.a
1
>>> o.b.c
2
>>> o.d[0]
u'hi'
>>> o.d[1].foo
u'bar'

而且它不像namedtuple那样是严格只读的,也就是说,你可以改变值-而不是结构:

>>> o.b.c = 3
>>> o.b.c
3
