The Python Dict that's better than heroin. Contribute to mewwts/addict development by creating an account on GitHub.

Addict – a Python dict whos values can be get and set using attributes launched on December 13, 2014 with 80 votes, #546 of 1,837 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Addict is a Python library that extends the standard dictionary to allow accessing and setting values using dot notation as attributes instead of bracket syntax. It's designed for Python developers who want a more convenient way to work with nested dictionaries and configuration data. The main advantage is cleaner, more readable code when accessing deeply nested dictionary values.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
