diggrtoolbox.deepget.deepget.deepget(obj, keys)

Deepget is a small function enabling the user to “cherrypick” specific values from deeply nested dicts or lists. This is useful, if the just one specific value is needed, which is hidden in multiple hierarchies.

Example:

>>> import diggrtoolbox as dt
>>> ENTRY = {'data' : {'raw': {'key1': 'value1',
                               'key2': 'value2'}}}
>>> KEY2 = ['data', 'raw', 'key2']
>>> dt.deepget(ENTRY, KEY2) == 'value2'
True
