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?
