How convert list to nested dictionary?

[macm]

Ok. Done


>>> def appendNested(nest, path, val):
...     nest2 = nest
...     for key in path[:-1]:
...         nest2 = nest2[key]
...     nest2[path[-1]].append(val)
...     return nest
...
>>>
>>> l = ['k1','k2','k3','k4','k5']
>>> ndict = reduce(lambda x,y: {y:x}, reversed(l), {'/':[1,2,3]})
>>> x = l + list('/')
>>> print appendNested(ndict, x, 5)
{'k1': {'k2': {'k3': {'k4': {'k5': {'/': [1, 2, 3, 5]}}}}}}
>>>


I need make lambda but now is friday night here and I guess I will go
drink a beer or three!

Cheers!
