Searching for nested items within the dictionary data structure

[perfringo]

I just wanted to pinpoint that there are subtle differences between accessing dict value by key or by .get method.

>>> d = dict(enumerate('abc'))
>>> d
{0: 'a', 1: 'b', 2: 'c'}
>>> d[0]
'a'
>>> d.get(0)
'a'
>>> d[3]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 3
>>> d.get(3)
>>>

If key not in the dict .get method doesn't rise KeyError, it returns default value.

>>> help(dict.get)
Help on method_descriptor:

get(self, key, default=None, /)
    Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.
