class watex.utils.box.Boxspace(**kws)

Bases: dict

Is a container object exposing keys as attributes.

BowlSpace objects are sometimes used as an output for functions and methods. They extend dictionaries by enabling values to be accessed by key, Boxspace[“value_key”], or by an attribute, Boxspace.value_key. Another option is to use Namespace of collection modules as:

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Boxspace = namedtuple ('Boxspace', [< attribute names >] )

However the explicit class that inhers from build-in dict is easy to handle attributes and to avoid multiple error where the given name in the names attributes does not match the expected attributes to fetch.

Examples

>>> from watex.utils.box import Boxspace
>>> bs = Boxspace(pkg='watex',  objective ='give water', version ='0.1.dev')
>>> bs['pkg']
... 'watex'
>>> bs.pkg
... 'watex'
>>> bs.objective
... 'give water'
>>> bs.version
... '0.1.dev'
