I have created a small program that generates a project tree from a
dictionary. The dictionary is of key/value pairs where each key is a
directory, and each value is a list. The list have unique values
corresponding to the key, which is a directory where each value in the
list becomes a subdirectory.
The question that I have is how to do this process if one of the
unique values in the list is itself a dict. For example, in the
"projdir" dict below, suppose the "Analysis" value in the list
corresponding to the "Engineering" key was itself a dict and was
assigned {'Analysis' : 'Simulink'} for example.
Thanks.
