I do like namedtuples also. I definitely agree -- dot-based access is handy! Addict is a dict subclass that offers dot-based access (pip install addict) Shortcomings are that it's not in stdlib and does have a few quirks (for example, be sure to convert a Dict to a dict with .to_dict() before json'ing). However, it's a nice and well maintained module.
