Python Json Init

an interesting and nice way to set up json

I thought this was verrrry interesting… One-line Tree in Python

Looking at:

	from collections import defaultdict
	def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)
	t = tree()

It is too fragile to be very generally useful. As pointed out in the comments, you can’t do this (nested assign):

	t['a']['b']['c'] = 'hello'
	t['a']['b']['c']['d'] = 'world'

You have to do this (but this still seems pretty cool):

	t['a']['b']['c']['hello']
	t['a']['b']['c']['d']['world']

And to wrap it up:

	import json
	print(json.dumps(t))

Is it pythonic, or is it so simple it’s obsfucated, hmmmm
