####Installation

This package can be installed from PyPI using `pip`. Make sure you have `pip` installed

#####Installation Using Buildout

If you're using __Buildout__ and want to use __subdicts__ you can do so by adding the
following lines to your `buildout.cfg` file:

```
[subdicts]

####Usage

This package has one method, `subdicts.utils.parse`, which does the parsing.

```
from subdicts.utils import parse

dict = {'person[firstname]': 'arnelle', 'person[lastname]': 'balane'}
parsed = parse(dict)

# parsed = {'person': {'firstname': 'arnelle', 'lastname': 'balane'}}
```
