from pyresolve import resolve

my_dictionary = {"out":{"middle":{"in":"Balue"}}}

# Before
my_dictionary.get('out', {}).get('middle', {}).get('in')

# After
resolve(my_dictionary, "out.middle.in") # "Balue"

resolve(my_dictionary, "outer.missing.something") # None

resolve(my_dictionary, "outer.missing.something", []) # []

dictionary_with_list = {"users": [{"name":"Joe"}, {"name":"Jane"}]}
resolve(my_dictionary, "users.1.name") # Jane

Supports list notation

dictionary_with_list = {"users": [{"name":"Joe"}, {"name":"Jane"}]}
resolve(my_dictionary, "users[1].name") # Jane
