def put_nested_val(dict_obj, key_tuple, value):
    """Put a value into nested dicts by the order of the given keys tuple.

    Any missing intermediate dicts are created.

    Parameters
    ----------
    dict_obj : dict
        The outer-most dict to put in.
    key_tuple : tuple
        The keys to use for putting, in order.
    value : object
        The value to put.

    Example
    -------
    >>> dict_obj = {'a': {'h': 3}}
    >>> put_nested_val(dict_obj, ('a', 'b'), 7)
    >>> dict_obj['a']['b']
