I can certainly agree with that sentiment, especially when working with something like GraphQL that tends to return deeply nested JSON objects. Repeatedly using [''] can get quite tiresome (and not look particularly great) with something like this: ``` for pr_edge in pr_json['data']['user']['pullRequests']['edges']: for comment_edge in pr_edge['node']['comments']['edges']: commenter = comment_edge['node']['author']['login'] ... ``` (Extracted from a personal side-project I worked on last year) On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 12:10 AM Raymond Hettinger < raymond.hettinger@gmail.com> wrote:
