Kirill,
There are many related needs and issues and solutions such as how to parse XML content and do all kinds of tree searches for "patterns" that multiple modules have been created to deal with.
My impression here was of a simpler request to allow a list of keys to be applied in sequence. The example wanted the list to be successive arguments in a call to a method, but obvious variants would be for a single argument containing atuple or list or any interator that would probe a tree of possibilities while anchored to the top.
This is a much easier task with many solutions offered.

Subject: Re: dict.get_deep()

Hello,

Yes, I misunderstood as well because started to think about pattern
matching which is good but this is not subject the question was about.

Sorry for my mistake.

Because question was about 'builtin' function which means stdlib
function implemented in python itself or even in C.

It seems, maybe I miss again, but we are talking about similar ideas
behind 'xpath' or 'jsonpath' or even 'LINQ'. We want to find some 'dsl'
which give us simple and safe way to get deeply nested values from dict.

There are several similar solutions on pypi
(https://pypi.org/project/dpath/, https://pypi.org/project/path-dict/).

But maybe (and maybe I miss again) we talk about language embedded
solution like operator ? or ??.

For example deep dict extraction could look like: street =
data["users"]?[0]?["address"]?["street"]?.
