tenpy.tools.misc.merge_recursive(*nested_data, conflict='error', path=None)[source]

Merge nested dictionaries nested1 and nested2.

Parameters:

  • *nested_data (dict of dict) – Nested dictionaries that should be merged.

  • path (list of str) – Path inside the nesting for useful error message.

  • conflict ("error" | "first" | "last") – How to handle conflicts: raise an error (if the values are different), or just give priority to the first or last nested_data that still has a value, even if they are different.

Returns:

merged – A single nested dictionary with the keys/values of the nested_data merged. Dictionary values appearing in multiple of the nested_data get merged recursively.

Return type:

dict of dict
