If there's already a way to have attributes with these "non-standard" names (which is a good thing) then for uniformity with dot access to attributes with "standard" names there should be a variant of dot access allowing to access these "non-standard" named attributes, too. > > Regards, > Piotr > The obvious thing to do is to either raise this on python ideas, or if you're that confident about it raise an issue on the bug tracker with a patch, which would include changes to unit tests and documentation as well as code, get it reviewed and approved and Bob's your uncle, job done. Too late for Python 3.4 of course, but no problem for 3.5. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language. Mark Lawrence
