Python Generate a dynamic dictionary from the list of keys

Question

I do have a list as given below -

keyList1 = [\"Person\", \"Male\", \"Boy\", \"Student\", \"id_123\", \"Name\"]
value1 = \"Roger\"

How can I ge

Answer 1

Use tuple(keyList1) as key. (tuples are immutable and therefore can be dict keys).

You will have a world of headache with the nested dict approach. (nested loops for enumeration, legacy data when the hierarchy needs to change, etc.).

On a second thought, maybe you should define a person class

class Person(object):
    gender = "Male"
    group = "Student"
    id = 123
    Name = "John Doe"

then use a list of all persons and filter with e.g.

male_students = [s for s in  ALL_PERSONS where s.gender=="Male" and s.group="Student"]

... for <= 10000 students you should be fine performancewise.
