@gamesbook Thanks for adding this feature request. The library don't have official support for "flat keys" but was listed as a potential feature addition eventually: https://github.com/grimen/python-attributedict/issues/1

I am not sure if I will add support for it or not, as I don't have much usage for it at this time.
