It *is* a class, and by making C a subclass of SimpleNamespace C inherits 
the initialiser which does the actual work of updating the __dict__ of the C 
instance.

The actual implementation is written in C (the language used to implement 
the CPython interpreter), but following the example in the docs you can make 
your own SimpleNamespace...

>>> class MySimpleNamespace:
...     def __init__(self, **parms): self.__dict__.update(parms)
... 
>>> m = MySimpleNamespace(a=1, b=2)
>>> m.a
1
>>> m.b
2

and when you subclass it the subclass inherits the behaviour:

>>> class C(MySimpleNamespace):
...     pass
... 
>>> c = C(x=10, y=20)
>>> c.x
10
>>> c.y
20
