class DotDict(dict): (source)

Undocumented

Method	`__delattr__`	Delete an attribute from the DotDict instance.
Method	`__getattr__`	Retrieve a value using attribute-style access.
Method	`__setattr__`	Set an attribute on the DotDict instance.
Method	`copy`	Create a deep copy of the DotDict.
Method	`export`	Export the DotDict as a standard dictionary recursively.
Method	`get`	Get the value for a key, returning default if the key is not found.
Class Variable	`__slots__`	Undocumented

def __delattr__(self, key: str): (source) ¶

Delete an attribute from the DotDict instance.

Notes

Supports attribute-style deletion for dictionary keys.

Parameters
key:`str`	Name of the attribute to delete.

Returns
`None`	This method does not return a value.

Raises
`AttributeError`	If the attribute does not exist in the DotDict.

def __getattr__(self, key: str) -> object | None: (source) ¶

Retrieve a value using attribute-style access.

Notes

Enables attribute-style access for dictionary keys. Converts plain dicts to DotDict for consistency.

Parameters
key:`str`	Attribute name to retrieve.

Returns
`Any or None`	Value associated with the key, converted to DotDict if it is a dict. Returns None if the key does not exist.

def __setattr__(self, key: str, value: object): (source) ¶

Set an attribute on the DotDict instance.

Notes

Enables attribute-style assignment for dictionary keys. Converts plain dicts to DotDict for recursive attribute access.

Parameters
key:`str`	Attribute name to set.
value:`Any`	Value to assign. If a dict (not DotDict), it is converted to DotDict.

Returns
`None`	This method does not return a value.

def copy(self) -> DotDict: (source) ¶

Create a deep copy of the DotDict.

Returns
`DotDict`	A new DotDict instance with recursively copied contents.

def export(self) -> dict[str, Any]: (source) ¶

Export the DotDict as a standard dictionary recursively.

Returns
`dict`	A dictionary where all nested DotDict instances are converted to standard dictionaries. Non-DotDict values are returned unchanged.

def get(self, key: str, default: object | None = None) -> object | None: (source) ¶

Get the value for a key, returning default if the key is not found.

Parameters
key:`str`	The key to look up in the dictionary.
default:`object or None, optional`	The value to return if the key is not found. Defaults to None.

Returns
`object or None`	The value associated with the key, converted to DotDict if it is a dict. Returns the specified default value if the key is not present.
