Perhaps like this?
>>> adict = dict(a=1,b=2,c=3)
>>> class Bunch(object):
... def __init__(self, other):
... self.__dict__ = other
...
>>> b = Bunch(adict)
>>> b.a
1
>>> b.b
2
>>> b.c
3
>>> b.c= 42
>>> adict
{'a': 1, 'c': 42, 'b': 2}
>>>
Be careful: attribute access to the dictionary works only if the keys are valid
identifiers, and not special names (which Python looks up in the class).
