Box – Python dictionary with dot notation

this is neat. my first thought was, “why not just use a dataclass?” but i guess this would do some different things than a dataclass? and be easier to create than a dataclass?

Box appears to date back to 2017 or so. Dataclasses came with Python 3.7 in 2018. So it probably scratched an itch for someone, and has continued to be useful with the extended capabilities.
