I spent my morning reading similar questions/answers (What is the best way to implement nested dictionaries?, Multiple levels of keys and values in Python, Python: How to update value of key value pair in nested dictionary?) but I'm still not able to solve the problem.
I have this tab dictionary with a tuple as key and I want as values: an integer, a dictionary, another dictionary and some lists. Then for every key, something like this: (str,str,str,str):{int, {}, {}, [], [] ...}
I want to be able to update these values structures and I need defaultdict because I don't know all the keys and anyway they are too much to be declared one by one manually.
I'm able to do this for a structure like this (str,str,str,str):{int} in this way:
tab=defaultdict(lambda: defaultdict(int))
tab[key][0]+=1
Or for a structure like this (str,str,str,str):{{}, {}} in this way:
tab=defaultdict(lambda: defaultdict(lambda: defaultdict(int)))
tab[key][1][str]+=1
tab[key][2][str]+=1
But not for what I really need. Thank you!
Ok, thank to @RemcoGerlich I'm trying to fix the problem, but I never used class before and maybe there's still something wrong in my code... Btw the int is a counter, the two dictionary have ip addresses like keys and the number of occurrences as values.
