Dynamic Allocation of Nested Dictionaries

[Larz60+]

Ok,

I tested (enough for current needs) this version, and will  be importing it into the project
where I decided I needed it, and if necessary, fix any new bugs that pop up and re-post.

Thanks all for contributions and suggestions.

from collections import defaultdict


class DynamicNestedDict(defaultdict):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(DynamicNestedDict, self).__init__(DynamicNestedDict, *args, **kwargs)

    def set_from_list(self, keylist, value):
        level = self
        for key in keylist[:-1]:
            level = level[key]
        level[keylist[-1]] = value

    def get_from_list(self, keylist):
        level = self
        for key in keylist[:-1]:
            level = level[key]
        return level[keylist[-1]]


def try_dynamic_nested_dict():
    keylist = ['bind', 'application level', 'binding']
    loc = [20, 96, 100, 101, 102, 104, 105, 115, 193, 434, 546]
    dd = DynamicNestedDict()
    dd.set_from_list(keylist, loc)
    result = dd.get_from_list(keylist)
    print("dd['bind']['application level']['binding']: {}".format(result))
