Deeply nested dictionaries - should I look into a database or am I just doing it wrong?

I see what Thorsten meant by "named tuple" now. I was thinking of a
tuple with a name:
x = (1,2)
Your usage made me look it up and I see that it means the factory
function in the collections module. I wanted to make things look like
that, but the only way I knew how to do that would've been to a new
create blank class and assign values to its __dict__.
Named tuples look useful; I'll read the docs and see if that will work.
