I have a a nested dict object with N layers:
d={'l0':{'l1':{'l2':...}}}
in addition, I have a list of all the dict keys:
k=['l0','l1','l2',...]
how can I access the element defined by the list,for an arbitrary list, that is:
d[k[0]][k[1]][k[2]].... = X
(I would like a function that return the reference to the data...)
One approach is the following:
def resolve_value(obj, keys):
for key in keys:
obj = obj[key]
return obj
k = ['l0', 'l1', 'l2']
d = {'l0': {'l1': {'l2': 'hello'}}}
print(resolve_value(d, k))
Output
hello
You can go with the intuitive solution:
val = d
for key in k:
val = val[key]
# operations with val here
