Create complex object in python based on property names

I am trying to create a complex object based on metadata I have. It is an array of attributes which I am iterating and trying to create a dict. For example below is the array

[
 "itemUniqueId",
 "itemDescription",
 "manufacturerInfo[0].manufacturer.value",
 "manufacturerInfo[0].manufacturerPartNumber",
 "attributes.noun.value",
 "attributes.modifier.value",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[0].attributeName",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[0].attributeValue",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[0].attributeUOM",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[1].attributeName",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[1].attributeValue",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[1].attributeUOM",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[2].attributeName",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[2].attributeValue",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[2].attributeUOM",
]

This array should give an output as below

   {
    "itemUniqueId": "",
    "itemDescription": "Item1",
    "manufacturerInfo": [
            "manufacturer": {
                "value": "two"
            },
            "manufacturerPartNumber": "82"
    ],
    "attributes": {
        "noun": {
            "value": "1"
        },
        "modifier": {
            "value": "zz"
        },
        "entityAttributes": [
             {
                "attributeName": "TYPE",
                "attributeValue": "",
                "attributeUOM": ""
            },
           {
                "attributeName": "SIZE",
                "attributeValue": "3",
                "attributeUOM": "IN"
            }
            ]
        }
    }

I have written this logic but unable to get the desired output. It should work on both object and array given the metadata.

source_json = [
 "itemUniqueId",
 "itemDescription",
 "manufacturerInfo[0].manufacturer.value",
 "manufacturerInfo[0].manufacturerPartNumber",
 "attributes.noun.value",
 "attributes.modifier.value",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[0].attributeName",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[0].attributeValue",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[0].attributeUOM",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[1].attributeName",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[1].attributeValue",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[1].attributeUOM",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[2].attributeName",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[2].attributeValue",
 "attributes.entityAttributes[2].attributeUOM",
]

for row in source_json:
     propertyNames = row.split('.')
     temp = ''
     parent = {}
     parentArr = []
     parentObj = {}
     #if len(propertyNames) > 1:
     arrLength = len(propertyNames)
     for i, (current) in enumerate(zip(propertyNames)):
        if i ==0:
            if '[' in current:
                parent[current]=parentArr
            else:
                parent[current] = parentObj;
            temp = current
        if i>0 and i<arrLength-1:
            if '[' in current:
                parent[current]=parentArr
            else:
                parent[current] = parentObj;
            temp = current
        if i == arrLength-1:
            if '[' in current:
                parent[current]=parentArr
            else:
                parent[current] = parentObj;
            temp = current
            #temp[prev][current] =""
    #finalMapping[target] = target
print(parent)

Any help is much appreciated, Thanks in advance
