 I've found this inspiring, but I would use this instead to add value to key:


    def dot_set(s,v):
        return reduce(lambda x,y: {y: x}, reversed(s.split('.')), v)

    print dot_set('1.a.b.c', 'test')

 do_set will return
    {'1': {'a': {'b': {'c': 'test'}}}}

 Then you can merge this dict using one of these techniques: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11011756/is-there-any-pythonic-way-to-combine-two-dicts-adding-values-for-keys-that-appe
