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

>>> mydict = {}
>>> keyList1 = ["Person", "Male", "Boy", "Student", "id_123", "Name"]
>>> value1 = "Roger"
>>> reduce(lambda x, y: x.setdefault(y, {}), keyList1, mydict)
{}
>>> mydict["Person"]["Male"]["Boy"]["Student"]["id_123"]["Name"] = value1

You can also do it in one step like this

>>> keyList2 = ["Person", "Male", "Boy", "Student", "id_123", "Age"]
>>> value2 = 25
>>> reduce(lambda x,y: x.setdefault(y,{}), keyList2[:-1], mydict).update({keyList2[-1]: value2})
