Sometimes people look for a method which is equivalent to dict.get, where they can set a default value for when the key isn't found:py> d = {1: 'a', 2: 'b'} py> d.get(999, '?') '?' The equivalent for sequences such as lists and tuples is a slice. If the slice is out of range, Python returns a empty sequence:
I see what you are trying to achieve here. What do you think about this? [1, 2, 3].get(999, '?') Best, Sven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
