If it expands past what was basically a slight elaboration on

class Bunch: pass

to actually do real work, I'd be much more impressed, as long as simple
things stay simple. A hierarchy-aware get might be a good start:

>>> config = Namespace()
>>> myParm = config.get("myapp.wrapping.line", constants.STRICT)
>>> someParms = config.get("myapp.settings.printer", Namespace())

which would create the necessary namespaces or something.
