How does these compare to glom?

#54So basically Perl autovivification for Python?
Seems a subset of it. Practicality aside, Perl can autovivify not only hashes but also arrays:
my %x;
$x{foo}[1]{bar} = 42; # %x is ( foo => [ undef, { bar => 42 } ] )Re: DotDict: A simple Python library to make chained attributes possible

Be aware that pickle is unsafe (as documented near the top of https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html ), so prefer other serialization formats except between trusted processes
I can't remember the last time I _wanted_ to pickle something. Parquet and JSON pretty much cover it for me. I guess pickling made more sense before tools like Pydantic were good and popular? If I want all the python-specific nuance on disk, I know I'm in a bad place!
I use pickle to serialize RPC requests between internal services. Nothing beats it in terms of speed and ease of use.
