Follow the link to the cookbook and read Andrew Dalke's comment ;) To spell it out: >>> class D(dict): ... def __missing__(self, key): ... result = self[key] = D() ... return result ... >>> d = D() >>> d["a"]["b"]["c"] = 42 >>> d {'a': {'b': {'c': 42}}} This is not only simpler, it should also give you faster lookup when the key already exists. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
