What is the accepted python style for data objects

Question

What is the usual style for data objects in python. Suppose I have a method that receives from someone (net, DB, ....) what type of object I should return. I see several options:

• motorcade
• dictionary
• class instance (data classes are "normal")

I am sure there are others. By doing my first big python project and therefore would like to start using best practices to get started.

Wow - surprised at the negative reaction to the question. Maybe not clear [/ p>

I have many different data elements that I want to pass to my code. User, product, customer, order, ... (in fact, they are nothing like this, but simpler with obvious types of things). so I

def get_user():
  return x

what should be x. class instance called user, dict, tuple ...

class product:
   pass

def get_product():
   ... db read stuff
   pr = product()
   pr.name = dbthing[0]
   pr.price = dbthing[1]
   return pr

def xxx():
  pr = get_product()
  total = amount * pr.price
