Does there exist empty class in python?

Question

Does there exist special class in python to create empty objects? I tried object(), but it didn't allow me to add fields. I want to use it like this:

obj = EmptyObject()
obj.foo = 'far'
obj.bar = 'boo'

Should I each time(in several independent scripts) define new class like this?

class EmptyObject:
    pass

I use python2.7

There is no types.SimpleNamespace in Python 2.7, you could use collections.namedtuple() for immutable objects instead:

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> FooBar = namedtuple('FooBar', 'foo bar')
>>> FooBar('bar', 'foo')
FooBar(foo='bar', bar='foo')

Or argparse.Namespace:

>>> from argparse import Namespace
>>> o = Namespace(foo='bar')
>>> o.bar = 'foo'
>>> o
Namespace(bar='foo', foo='bar')
