pymel.util.namedtuple

static util.namedtuple(typename, field_names, verbose=False)

Returns a new subclass of tuple with named fields.

>>> Point = namedtuple('Point', 'x y')
>>> Point.__doc__                   # docstring for the new class
'Point(x, y)'
>>> p = Point(11, y=22)             # instantiate with positional args or keywords
>>> p[0] + p[1]                     # indexable like a plain tuple
33
>>> x, y = p                        # unpack like a regular tuple
>>> x, y
(11, 22)
>>> p.x + p.y                       # fields also accessable by name
33
>>> d = p._asdict()                 # convert to a dictionary
>>> d['x']
11
>>> Point(**d)                      # convert from a dictionary
Point(x=11, y=22)
>>> p._replace(x=100)               # _replace() is like str.replace() but targets named fields
Point(x=100, y=22)
