I created a dict source = {'livemode': False}. I thought it's possible to access the livemode value via source.livemode. But it doesn't work. Is there a way to access it that way?

As a not source['livemode'] works, but I need source.livemode as that's already used in my code and I have to handle it as an alternative to the Stripe return value charge.

I want to give a bit more context

Here I create a charge via Stripe:

def _create_charge(self, request, order_reference, order_items_dict, token):try:charge = stripe.Charge.create(amount=order_items_dict['total_gross'],application_fee=order_items_dict['application_fee'],currency=order_items_dict['event'].currency,source=token,stripe_account=order_items_dict['event'].organizer.stripe_account,expand=['balance_transaction', 'application_fee'],)except stripe.error.StripeError as e:body = e.json_bodyerr = body.get('error', {})messages.error(request,err.get('message'))else:if charge.paid and charge.status == 'succeeded':return charge

I can access this with e.g. charge_or_source.livemode

def _create_order(self, request, charge_or_source, order_status):order_reference = request.session.get('order_reference')new_order = self.order_form.save(commit=False)print(charge_or_source.livemode, "charge_or_source.livemode")new_order_dict = {'total_gross': self.order_items_dict['total_gross'],'livemode': charge_or_source.livemode,}

Now there is a case (when the order is Free) where I have to 'skip' the _create_charge function but still, I have to send information about charge_or_source.livemode. Therefore I tried to create the above-mentioned dictionary.

I'm a beginner myself, but let me try and answer:

Say you have a dictionary:

dictionary = {"One": 1, "Two": 2, "Three": 3}

You can create a class with its keys like:

class DictKeys:One = 'One'Two = 'Two'Three = 'Three'

Here, One, Two and Three are class variables or attributes, which means if you create an object for this class:

key = DictKeys()

You can access all of those keys using the '.' (dot) operator.

key.One
>>'One'

Now just plug it where ever you want to access your dictionary!

dictionary[key.One]
>>1

I'm sure this isn't the best way, and class access is a tiny bit slower than dict access, but if you really want to, you can access all your keys with a dot using this method.
