Looks a good idea. I use this kind of "recursive dicts" to represent tree like datastruct in python. Like:
car["ford"]["taurus"]["price"]=... car["toyota"]["corolla"]["mpg"]=... car["toyota"]["corolla"]["price"]=... It would be good if it could be combined with class2dict (converting dict elemnets into attributes of a class/instance), http://vsbabu.org/mt/archives/2003/02/13/joy_of_python_classes_and_dictionaries.html so the former would look a bit nicer: car.toyota.corolla.mpg=... car.toyota.corolla.price=... Does anybody have another idea for representing tree-like data? Is there another type for trees in python?
