I gave you a solution based on the Decorator pattern in another post, 
but there is also the possibility to add a __getitem__ method directly 
to the to-be-formatted object's class:

def mygetitem(obj, name):
   return getattr(obj, name)

setattr(obj.__class__, '__getitem__', mygetitem)
obj['bar']

BTW, parts of this thread should remind us all that it's usually better 
to clearly describe the *problem* before asking for comments on the 
solution...

My 2 cents...
