Help: From 2D table to dictionary

[pekka niiranen]

How to convert 2d table to a dictionary as follows:

table is      'FILE'    'co1'    'co2'    'co3'
                'row1'    'a'        'b'        'c'
                'row2'    'A'        'B'        'C'

or in python syntax:

table = [['FILE', 'co1', 'co2', 'co3'], ['row1', 'a', 'b', 'c'], 
['row2', 'A', 'B', 'C']]

How to convert it to a nested dictionary like this:

d = {'row1' : {'co1': 'a', 'co2': 'b', 'co3': 'c'}, 'row2' : {'co1': 
'A', 'co2': 'B', 'co3': 'C'}}

I have got this far but forming the dictionary proved more difficult 
than I expected:

table
[['FILE', 'co1', 'co2', 'co3'], ['row1', 'a', 'b', 'c'], ['row2', 'A', 
'B', 'C']]
for row in table[1:]:
...     for col in table[0][1:]:
...         x = table.index(row)
...         y = table[0].index(col)
...         print x, y, table[x][y]
...        
1 1 a
1 2 b
1 3 c
2 1 A
2 2 B
2 3 C

Solution would be useful when reading an Excel -table thru 
win32-extensions into a dictionary.
