In the help file (8.1):  
[Python - Adding Folders in other Folders](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.configure)

```auto
# Folders are nodes with a 'tagType' set to 'Folder'.
# Each folder can contain a 'tags' value, which containers other tags and folders.
 
Tags={'tagType': 'Folder',
        'name': 'NewFolderName',
        'tags' : [
                    {
                    'name': 'anotherfolder',
                    'tagType': 'Folder',
                    'tags': [{}] # There aren't any objects defined here, so this will just be an empty folder.                 
                    }
                ]
        }
 
system.tag.configure( basePath = '',
                        tags = Tags,
                        collisionPolicy = "o"
                    )
