You can just hardcode the logic and then run this in a loop.

l = ['your name', 'mother', 'age', '43']
d = {}
d[l[0]] = {
    l[1]: {
        l[2]: l[3]
        }
    }

One option is to iterate backwards over the list, and continuously update the result dict D:

L = ['your name', 'mother', 'age', '43']

D = L[-1]  # '43'

for k in L[-2::-1]:
    D = {k: D}  # {'age': D}... {'mother': D}...

print(D)

Out:

{'your name': {'mother': {'age': '43'}}}
