Multi-Dimm Array or Class?

[PappaBear]

I'm working on a config converter for firewalls. (Take ASA config, make it a Palo Alto config, or a Juniper config, etc).

What I'm actually trying to do is store the following type of data

---

rule1, src-intf, src-zone, dst-intf, dst-zone, allowed, protocol, port
rule2, src-intf, src-zone, dst-intf, dst-zone, allowed, protocol, port
rule3, src-intf, src-zone, dst-intf, dst-zone, allowed, protocol, port
rule4, src-intf, src-zone, dst-intf, dst-zone, allowed, protocol, port

---

I'm wonder when the decision point is to use a class, or simply use a multi-dimm array?
Would I do something like?:

class SecurityPolicies:
  def __init__(self):
    self.description = description
    self.src_intf = src_intf
	self.src_zone = src_zone
	self.dst_intf = dst_intf
	self.dst_zone = dst_zone
	self.pmt_deny = allowed

original_lines = original_file.readlines()
for counter in range(len(original_lines)):	
Policy[counter] = SecurityPolicies

** note syntax may not be 100% accurate

or is it simply easier to just use multi-dimm arrays?

Thanks for advice in advance
