Does Python provide "Struct" data structure?

I like the following version:

class Struct(dict):

     def __getattr__(self,name):

         try:
             val=self[name]
         except KeyError:
             val=super(Struct,self).getattr(self,name)

         return val

     def __setattr__(self,name,val):

         l=dir(self)

         if name in self:
             super(Struct,self).setattr(self,name,val)
         else:
             self[name]=val


it has the added benefit of having all of the dict methods too.
