When I need to traverse nested dicts, is a common pattern to do
somedict.get('foo', {}).get('bar', {})
But there is no such equivalent for arrays, wouldn't be nice if we can
follow
somedict.get('foo', {}).get('bar', []).get(10) ... ?
What I do in this case is surround with try/except IndexError and set some
variable to None, or wrap the try/except block in a function. But this is
noise in my opinion, I just want to follow the same reasoning that I have
with dicts: I'm searching for some path deep nested, and want a default if
not found.
What do you think?
Regards
