attrdict.py

That seems like a lot of work. Why not just use dict as a the parent class, and add in __getattr__ and __setattr__ methods?

>>> class attrdict(dict):
...   def __getattr__(self, key):
...     return self[key]
...   def __setattr__(self, key, value):
...     self[key] = value
...
>>> spam = attrdict({"foo": "bar", 42: "carrots"})
>>> spam
{'foo': 'bar', 42: 'carrots'}
>>> spam.foo
'bar'
>>> spam[42]
'carrots'
>>> print(spam)
{'foo': 'bar', 42: 'carrots'}
>>> spam.cat = "dog"
>>> spam
{'foo': 'bar', 42: 'carrots', 'cat': 'dog'}
>>> spam.items()
dict_items([('foo', 'bar'), (42, 'carrots'), ('cat', 'dog')])
>>> for key in spam:
...   print(key)
...
foo
42
cat
