python structuring of dict with nested

[jhon123]

I have nested list below as test_data which is my input also and expected_data is the formatted output my question now is how to get expected output from test_data.

###Input given

 
 test_data = [[u'', u'Sr. No.', u'TestCase ID', u'Iteration', u'Pre-requisites', u'Action:Parameter:Verification'], 
			  [u'', 1.0, u'IAE_001', 1.0, u"SET_MOBILE_NETWORK:DUT1:DUT1,network='TBD'\nSET_MOBILE_NETWORK:DUT2:DUT2,network='TBD'",'SEND_SMS:DUT1,DUT2,Msg:DUT1,Msg="Test Message",MsgState=\'Delivered\'\nRECEIVE_SMS:DUT2,DUT1,Msg:DUT2,Msg="Test Message",MsgState=\'Read\''],
              
			  [u'', 2.0, u'IAE_002', 1.0, u"SET_MOBILE_NETWORK:DUT1:DUT1,network='TBD'\nSET_MOBILE_NETWORK:DUT2:DUT2,network='TBD'\nSET_MOBILE_DATA_ON:DUT1\nSET_MOBILE_DATA_ON:DUT2", u'SEND_SMS:DUT1,DUT2,Msg:DUT1,Msg="Test Message",MsgState=\'Delivered\'\nRECEIVE_SMS:DUT2,DUT1,Msg:DUT2,Msg="Test Message",MsgState=\'Read\'\nSET_MOBILE_DATA_OFF:DUT1\nSET_MOBILE_DATA_OFF:DUT2']]

###Expected Output --

expected_data = {
    'AMBS_001':{
        'Iteration': 1,
        'Pre-requisites': ["ADV_MSG_ENABLE:DUT1:DUT1,mode='enabled'",
                          "ADV_MSG_ENABLE:DUT2:DUT1,mode='enabled'",
                          "WEB_APP_LOGIN:DUT1"],
        'Action:Parameter:Verification':["SEND_SMS:DUT1,DUT2,Msg:DUT1,Msg=\"Test Message\",MsgState='Delivered',MsgMode='Pager'",
                 "READ_SMS:DUT1,DUT2,Msg:DUT2,Msg=\"Test Message\",MsgState='Read',MsgMode='Pager'"]
    },
    'AMBS_002':{
        'Iteration': 2,
        'Pre-requisites':["ADV_MSG_ENABLE:DUT1:DUT1,mode='enabled'",
                          "ADV_MSG_ENABLE:DUT2:DUT1,mode='enabled'",
                          "WEB_APP_LOGIN:DUT1",
                          "WEB_APP_LOGIN:DUT2"],
        'Action:Parameter:Verification':["AIRPLANE_MODE_ON:DUT1:DUT1,mode='enabled' (AIRPLANE_MODE:DUT1,ON:DUT1,MODE=(ON))",
                  "SEND_SMS:DUT1,DUT2,Msg:DUT1,Msg=\"Test Message\",MsgState='Delivered',MsgMode='Pager'",
                  "AIRPLANE_MODE_OFF:DUT1:DUT1,mode='disabled'",
                  "WEB_APP_READ_SMS:DUT2,DUT1,Msg:DUT2,Msg=\"Test Message\",MsgState='Read',MsgMode='Pager'"]
    }
}

##this is what I have tried

heading=test_data.pop(0)
print heading
[u'', u'Sr. No.', u'TestCase ID', u'Iteration', u'Pre-requisites', u'Action:Parameter:Verification']
test_data1=test_data.pop(0)
print test_data1
[u'', 1.0, u'IAE_001', 1.0, u"SET_MOBILE_NETWORK:DUT1:DUT1,network='TBD'\nSET_MOBILE_NETWORK:DUT2:DUT2,network='TBD'", 'SEND_SMS:DUT1,DUT2,Msg:DUT1,Msg="Test Message",MsgState=\'Delivered\'\nRECEIVE_SMS:DUT2,DUT1,Msg:DUT2,Msg="Test Message",MsgState=\'Read\'']
test_data2=test_data.pop(0)
print test

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#56>", line 1, in <module>
    print test
NameError: name 'test' is not defined
_
print test_data2
[u'', 2.0, u'IAE_002', 1.0, u"SET_MOBILE_NETWORK:DUT1:DUT1,network='TBD'\nSET_MOBILE_NETWORK:DUT2:DUT2,network='TBD'\nSET_MOBILE_DATA_ON:DUT1\nSET_MOBILE_DATA_ON:DUT2", u'SEND_SMS:DUT1,DUT2,Msg:DUT1,Msg="Test Message",MsgState=\'Delivered\'\nRECEIVE_SMS:DUT2,DUT1,Msg:DUT2,Msg="Test Message",MsgState=\'Read\'\nSET_MOBILE_DATA_OFF:DUT1\nSET_MOBILE_DATA_OFF:DUT2']

I have no clue how to restructure it in nested dictionary form as shown for expected_data
