How to turn object.__dict__ into the object itself again?
<pre><code>class Node(object):
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data

if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = Node(5)
    print a # prints __main__.Node object at 0x025C7530
    print a.__dict__ # how can I turn this back into the previous line?
</code></pre>

<p>Is there anyway to turn the <strong>dict</strong> back into the object?</p>
