MATLAB to Python conversion

[ibreeden]

As I said before: there are a lot of ways to store data. Some are more legible than others. I always prefer the most legible solution.
What do you think about the following solution? (It is the same principle as I offered before.)

>>> filedata = {}
>>> filedata['file1'] = {}
>>> filedata['file1']['numShifts'] = 8
>>> filedata['file1']['numWorkers'] = 5
>>> filedata['file1']['worker1'] = {}
>>> filedata['file1']['worker1']['hours'] = 8
>>> filedata['file1']['worker1']['location'] = [47.123, 15.123]
>>> filedata['file1']['numTrucks'] = 3
>>> filedata['file1']['truck1'] = {}
>>> filedata['file1']['truck1']['gasoline'] = 150
>>> filedata['file1']['truck1']['location'] = [47.123, 15.123]
>>> filedata['file1']['truck1']['miles'] = 15
>>> filedata['file1']['managerid'] = 'Mickey Mouse'
>>> 
>>> filedata
{'file1': {'numShifts': 8, 'numWorkers': 5, 'worker1': {'hours': 8, 'location': [47.123, 15.123]}, 'numTrucks': 3, 'truck1': {'gasoline': 150, 'location': [47.123, 15.123], 'miles': 15}, 'managerid': 'Mickey Mouse'}}
