Question

Lets say I have the code:

class NoneDict(dict):
    def __getitem__(self, name):
        try:
                return super(NoneDict, self).__getitem__(name)
        except:
                return None

I want people to be able to create a NoneDict object without writing all this code out. I tried including it in a module and then typed:

import nonedict
foo = NoneDict()

But it didn’t work. How can I make it so someone can import the module and then be able to create a nonedict without typing out all the code?

Answer 1

import nonedict
foo = nonedict.NoneDict()

or

from nonedict import NoneDict
foo = NoneDict()

or (thanks @Joel Cornett)

from nonedict import NoneDict as nd
foo = nd()
