Hmmm, you do realize that wrapdict uses a lot of indirection while my
equivalent approach, just posted, is very direct, right?  To reiterate
the latter, and dress it up nicely too, it's

class wrapwell(object):
    def __init__(self, somedict):
        self.__dict__ = somedict

and use d=wrapwell(whateverdict) to make the wrapper.  Now, reading or
writing d.x is just like reading or writing whateverdict['x'], etc etc.
