I have this nested dictionary:
playlist = {u'user1': {u'Roads': 1.0, u'Pyramid Song': 1.0, u'Go It Alone': 1.0}}
and I'm trying to increment its float values by 1.0:
user = playlist.keys()[0]
counts = playlist[user].values()
for c in counts:
c += 1.0
I've come this far.
now, how do I update the dictionary with the incremented value?

To update float values in the nested dictionary with varying levels of nesting, you need to write a recursive function to walk through the data structure, update the values when they are floats or recall the function when you have a dictionary:
def update_floats(d, value=0):
for i in d:
if isinstance(d[i], dict):
update_floats(d[i], value)
elif isinstance(d[i], float):
d[i] += value
update_floats(playlist, value=1)
print(playlist)
# {'user1': {'Go It Alone': 2.0, 'Pyramid Song': 2.0, 'Roads': 2.0}}
