One more:

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> brucelee = namedtuple("brucelee", "x y")
>>> def to_dict(n):
...     return dict(zip(n._fields, n))
... 
>>> data = {'a': brucelee(x=123, y=321), 'b': brucelee(x=123, y=321)}
>>> {k: to_dict(v) for k, v in data.items()}
{'a': {'y': 321, 'x': 123}, 'b': {'y': 321, 'x': 123}}
