addict – the Python Dict that’s better than heroin.

addict is a Python module that gives you dictionaries whose values are both gettable and settable using attributes, in addition to standard item-syntax.

This means that you don’t have to write dictionaries like this anymore:

body = {
    'query': {
        'filtered': {
            'query': {
                'match': {'description': 'addictive'}
            },
            'filter': {
                'term': {'created_by': 'Mats'}
            }
        }
    }
}

Instead, you can simply write the following three lines:

body = Dict()
body.query.filtered.query.match.description = 'addictive'
body.query.filtered.filter.term.created_by = 'Mats'
