I need to know how to do something like how in Lua you would use:

foo={
   x=7,
   y=5
}

and retrieve the variables with foo.x. Thank you!

  • I'm not familiar with Lua, but this looks like a dict. Have you considered that? The syntax would be `foo = {'x': 7, 'y': 5}; foo['x']` – wjandrea Dec 28 '20 at 15:51

  • You're either looking to create a class or a dictionary with my lack of knowledge of Lua. Please explain more as to what this "collection" is to be used for and we can further help you. – Jab Dec 28 '20 at 15:56
  • You can use [**`types.SimpleNamespace`**](https://docs.python.org/3/library/types.html#types.SimpleNamespace) – Peter Wood Dec 28 '20 at 15:57

You're looking for a dictionary, where you're able to access key , value pairs.

foo={
   'x':7,
   'y':5
}

the semicolon is used to assign the key to the value

foo = { 
 'key':value
}

Use a python Dictionary type:

foo = {
    'x' : 7,
    'y': 5
}

Retrieve with: foo['x']

Here's the official documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries
