Dear All,
I am using dictionary for filling my xpath parsed data.
I wanted to use in the following manner.
mydict[index] ["key1"] ["key2"] #Can someone help me with right
declaration.
So that I can fill my XML xpath parsed data
mydict[0] ["person"] ["setTime"] = "12:09:30"
mydict[0] ["person"] ["clrTime"] = "22:09:30"
That kind of thing can be done, but there's a better way perhaps:
Create keys for a single level dictionary which are tuples composed of
the sequence of keys you would have used in your multidimensional
dictionary.
mydict[(0,"person","setTime")] = "12:09:30"
mydict[(0,"person","clrTime")] = "22:09:30"
Would that work for you?

Gary Herron <gh*****@islandtraining.comwrites:
mydict[(0,"person","setTime")] = "12:09:30"
mydict[(0,"person","clrTime")] = "22:09:30"
Note that this is more succinctly written as:
mydict[0, "person", "setTime"] = "12:09:30"
with the added advantage that it looks like a multi-dimensional array.
:-)
The only problem with this approach is that when you want to iterate
over, say, mydict[0], or mydict[0]["person"], it's not possible
without traversing the entire dict.

If that looks too messy, try a subclass:
>>class Dict(defaultdict):
.... def __init__(self):
.... defaultdict.__init__(self, Dict)
.... def __repr__(self):
.... return dict.__repr__(self)
....
>>mydict = Dict() mydict[0]["person"]["setTime"] = "12:09:30" mydict
{0: {'person': {'setTime': '12:09:30'}}}
>>mydict[0]["person"]["shoes"]["color"] = "bright yellow" mydict
{0: {'person': {'setTime': '12:09:30', 'shoes': {'color': 'bright
yellow'}}}}

When this has come up in previous threads, I think this was the best
solution that was proposed:
from collections import defaultdict
class recursivedefaultdict(defaultdict):
def __init__(self):
self.default_factory = type(self)
Here is this recursivedefaultdict in action:
data = [
('A','B','Z',1),
('A','C','Y',2),
('A','C','X',3),
('B','A','W',4),
('B','B','V',5),
('B','B','U',6),
('B','D','T',7),
]
table = recursivedefaultdict()
for k1,k2,k3,v in data:
table[k1][k2][k3] = v
for kk in sorted(table.keys()):
print "-",kk
for jj in sorted(table[kk].keys()):
print " -",jj
for ii in sorted(table[kk][jj].keys()):
print " -",ii,table[kk][jj][ii]
Prints:
- A
- B
- Z 1
- C
- X 3
- Y 2
- B
- A
- W 4
- B
- U 6
- V 5
- D
- T 7
