For me, yes. In production code.

Maybe because spam is type dict instead of type thes???

>>> import thesaurus
>>> thes = thesaurus.Thesaurus
>>> t = thes()
>>> t.spam = thes()
>>> t.spam.ham = 'cheese'
>>> print t.spam.ham
>cheese
>>> print t['spam'].ham
>cheese
>>> print t['spam']['ham']
>cheese
>>> '%(spam.ham)s' % t
>'cheese'

Works for me!

Remainder of your post, not productive, not worth my time.
