tracking some ideas

Author: kurtbroseCreated Aug 24, 2023Updated Oct 8, 2024

These need gardening but I'll just put them here to keep track.

python

def get_any(dict, *keys, default=None):
    """Cascading get, for those times you do `dict.get(key1, dict.get(key2, ...))"""
    for key in keys:
        if key in dict:
            return dict[key]
    return default

But I had another take on get_any() here, so need to resolve that. https://github.com/mahmoud/boltons/issues/266

Another one is a multi-partition, where predicates cascade:

python

future, current, past = partition(items, lambda item: item.start > now, lambda item: item.end > now)

(this could be an extension of iterutils.partition to accept any number of predicates instead of just one)
