单线：
keys, (newkey, newvalue) = list_address[:-2], list_address[-2:]reduce(dict.__getitem__, keys, dict_nested)[newkey] = newvalue
注：
dict.get与
operator.getitem将在这里产生错误的异常。
乔尔·科内特（Joel
Cornett）的答案中明确的for循环可能更具可读性。
如果要创建不存在的中间词典：
reduce(lambda d,k: d.setdefault(k, {}), keys, dict_nested)[newkey] = newvalue如果要覆盖不是字典的现有中间值，例如字符串，整数：
from collections import MutableMappingdef set_value(d, keys, newkey, newvalue, default_factory=dict): """ Equivalent to `reduce(dict.get, keys, d)[newkey] = newvalue` if all `keys` exists and corresponding values are of correct type """ for key in keys: try: val = d[key] except KeyError: val = d[key] = default_factory() else: if not isinstance(val, MutableMapping): val = d[key] = default_factory() d = val d[newkey] = newvalue
例
list_address = ["key1", "key1.2", "key1.2.1", "key1.2.1.1", "value"]dict_nested = { "key1": { "key1.1": { "...": "...", }, "key1.2": { "key1.2.1": "change_this", }, }, "key2": { "...": "..." },}set_value(dict_nested, list_address[:-2], *list_address[-2:])assert reduce(dict.get, list_address[:-1], dict_nested) == list_address[-1]测验
>>> from collections import OrderedDict>>> d = OrderedDict()>>> set_value(d, [], 'a', 1, OrderedDict) # non-existent key>>> d.items()[('a', 1)]>>> set_value(d, 'b', 'a', 2) # non-existent intermediate key>>> d.items()[('a', 1), ('b', {'a': 2})]>>> set_value(d, 'a', 'b', 3) # wrong intermediate type>>> d.items()[('a', {'b': 3}), ('b', {'a': 2})]>>> d = {}>>> set_value(d, 'abc', 'd', 4)>>> reduce(dict.get, 'abcd', d) == d['a']['b']['c']['d'] == 4True>>> from collections import defaultdict>>> autovivify = lambda: defaultdict(autovivify)>>> d = autovivify()>>> set_value(d, 'abc', 'd', 4)>>> reduce(dict.get, 'abcd', d) == d['a']['b']['c']['d'] == 4True>>> set_value(1, 'abc', 'd', 4) #doctest:+IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAILTraceback (most recent call last):...TypeError:>>> set_value([], 'abc', 'd', 4) #doctest:+IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAILTraceback (most recent call last):...TypeError:>>> L = [10]>>> set_value(L, [0], 2, 3)>>> L[{2: 3}]
