[issue4124] Patch for adding "default" to itemgetter and attrgetter

[Miki Tebeka]

New submission from Miki Tebeka <miki.tebeka at gmail.com>:

This is a patch for adding "default" keyword to itemgetter and attrgetter.

This way you can do:
>>> f = itemgetter(0, default=1)
>>> f([])
1
>>> f= attrgetter("a", default="b")
>>> f(object())
'b'
>>>

I'm not sure about all the Py_INCREF I've placed there, someone with
more knowledge than me should review the code.
