Creating nested dataclass objects in Python

You can use post_init for this

from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class One:
    f_one: int
    f_two: str

@dataclass
class Two:
    f_three: str
    f_four: One
    def __post_init__(self):
        self.f_four = One(**self.f_four)

data = {'f_three': 'three', 'f_four': {'f_one': 1, 'f_two': 'two'}}

print(Two(**data))
# Two(f_three="three", f_four=One(f_one=1, f_two='two'))
