Harry Percival Looks nice! Y u no namedtuple?

Kenneth Reitz Dictionaries are a much more predictable interface ;)

Kenneth Reitz Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should!

Hahaha... I can only imagine. Sorry to creep you out. Your Facebook profile is just a click away from your personal website, and your discussion about Records is up front and center on your feed for me :)

I learned from a coworker recently that namedtuple is a much lower memory usage than a dictionary, so if you're dealing with lots and lots of data regularly, and lots of processes on a single machine, (i.e. memory is a concern) namedtuple might be a better choice.
