Nested Dictionaries

[Chris Lada]

Is there some where of directly accessing information in a dictionary which
occurs as part of another dictionary i.e.:

inner = {'city':'This City','state':'This State'}
outer = {'12345':inner}

In order to access the 'city' information in the 12345 dictionary entry, I
do the following:

temp = outer['12345']    # yields the outer dictionary entry with the key
'12345'

tempCity = temp['city']   # yields the city value of the inner dictionary of
the
                                   #  outer dictionary entry with the key
'12345'

Is there an easier or more direct way of doing this ?

Thanks,
Chris
