This package is not a new idea, and this implementation is simply my attempt.

A StackOverflow question from someone looking for a Thing-like object: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2640806/javascript-like-object-in-python-standard-library

The replies mention two examples:

One from from ActiveState: The simple but handy “collector of a bunch of named stuff”

Another, available on PyPi as bunch is more substantial and in many ways more complete than this package.

One should not forget that Thing is really just a quick hack for when you have a structured bit of data that you need to dive into, and don’t feel it’s worth writing any better definition of the structure of that data. When you do have time for that, then I’d recommend a package like Pydantic, which can provide you with the tools to type-check and validate the structure.
