nested dictionary and SqliteDict ?

[instasck]

The way I use nested dictonery is as so:

nested_dict = lambda: defaultdict(nested_dict)
ips = nested_dict()
ips[ip]['count'] = 1
ips[ip]['proxy'] = 2
...

Can it be used with this sqlitedict but not in a form of object (that not do autocommit)

Yes, you can use dicts with sqlitedict. See the README for examples.

This is not dict, it is defaultdict, nested dict, I could not do it. can you show an example for it ?

[instasck]

from collections import defaultdict
from sqlitedict import SqliteDict


class nested_dict_sqlite(defaultdict):
    'like defaultdict but default_factory receives the key'

    def __missing__(self, key):
        self[key] = value = self.default_factory(key)
        return value


dicts = nested_dict_sqlite(lambda table: SqliteDict('dicts.sqlite3', table, 'c', True))
dicts['dict1']['x'] = 1
dicts['dict2']['y'] = 2

print(dicts['dict1']['x'])
print(dicts['dict2']['y'])
print(dicts['dict2']['yy'])
```

This is the only thing I could make, using tables as first argument, still not sure if I get it right.

Yes, you can use dicts with sqlitedict. See the README for examples.

But each time you want to change a value of specific ket - you need to fetch the whole dict.

Correct, sqlitedict is a key-value store: the keys are strings, the values Python objects.
