Hi,
I have seen a recipe which allows auto creation of missing values for
dictionaries.
However this recipe is not working for all.
class AutoValueDict(dict):
def __makeitem__(self, key):
return self.setdefault(key, {})
def __getitem__(self, key):
return self.get(key, self.__makeitem__(key))
I would like to have a dictionary which ensures dictionaries as values
except when I'm assigning another:
dict["abc"]["xyz"]["123"]["456"] = 123
How can I do this without many "if" and "else"?
best regards
Thomas
