[Python] How to convert a nested Python dict to object?

I'm searching for an elegant way to get data using attribute access on a dict with some nested dicts and lists (i.e. javascript-style object syntax).

For example:

>>> d = {'a': 1, 'b': {'c': 2}, 'd': ["hi", {'foo': "bar"}]}


Should be accessible in this way:

>>> x = dict2obj(d)

bar
