Sorry to nitpick, but there is no list.get(). No? How ... odd.
Odd indeed. My first reaction was: it is not needed because lists support slicing, but when I tried to construct a list.get() using slicing the best I could come up with was the following hack
def lget(l, i, v): return (l[i:] or [v])[0] ... lget(range(10), 20, 200) 200 lget(range(10), 5, 50) 5
Yet for some reason I never missed this functionality ...
