Most of this issues could be walked around: - For the dot syntax, all you have to do is define the __call__ method. You could do that by creating an object that encapsulates the dictionary, defines a __call__ method, and repasses the method calls to the underlying dictionary. - For inheritance, just create another constructor function that calls the parent constructor, adds the desired methods, and returns the new function. In JavaScript, it's called parasithic inheritance. - For the iteration method, you just have to define the __iter__ method. - For the isinstance and issubclass method, maybe you could create new conventions (and thus reinvent the wheel) - About static method... should we be using them anyway? Those are just some thoughts. This alternative way of creating objects is probably useless, nevertheless fun.
