How can I create an object and add attributes to it?

I want to create a dynamic object in Python and then add attributes to it. This didn't work: obj = object() obj.somefield = "somevalue" AttributeError: 'object' object has no attribute 'somefield' For details on why it doesn't work, see Can't set attributes on instance of "object" class.
You could use my ancient Bunch recipe, but if you don't want to make a "bunch class", a very simple one already exists in Python -- all functions can have arbitrary attributes (including lambda functions). So, the following works: obj = lambda: None obj.somefield = 'somevalue' Whether the loss of clarity compared to the venerable Bunch recipe is OK, is a style decision I will of course leave up to you.
