Achilles Gasper Rasquinha:

I'd like to achieve the following:

foodict['foo.bar.baz'] = 'foo'
{
   'foo': {
      'bar': {
            'baz': 'foo'
         }
       }
   }
}

Creating keys recursively. I'm guessing the solution is simple but I'm too exhausted to figure out one.

After scratching my head for a while, I've come up with this:

class Config(dict):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.super = super(Config, self)
        self.update(*args, **kwargs)

    def __setitem__(self, keys, value):
        keys   = keys.split('.')
        keys.reverse()

        config = Config()

        for i, k in enumerate(keys):
            if i == 0:
                config  = Config(**{ k: value })
            else:
                config  = Config(**{ k: config })

        self.super.update(config)
