adding the get method for lists #131077
Description
Hi! The topic of creating a secure get method for lists has been discussed several times in the community. I suggest the following implementation
Proposal:
static PyObject *
list_get(PyListObject *self, PyObject *args) {
Py_ssize_t index;
PyObject *default_value = Py_None;
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "n|O:get", &index, &default_value)) {
return NULL;
}
if (index < 0 || index >= Py_SIZE(self)) {
Py_INCREF(default_value);
return default_value;
}
Py_INCREF(self->ob_item[index]);
return self->ob_item[index];
}
implementation in python:
l = [1, 2, 3]
l.get(0)
1
print(type(p))
<class 'NoneType'>
l.get(4, 'False')
'False'
l.get(4, False)
False
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
