> Have a look at PEP 463, which looks into this in some detail. I wish this PEP had gained more traction. Sooner or later, everyone wants an expression form of a try/except.
When it comes to expressing "in the event of this exception, I want this default", exception expressions read much more nicely than an equivalent try/except block. Also, new syntax would keep the rest of the language clean so that don't end up adding dozens of get() methods. Or r having us expand function signatures with default arguments, like min() and max() functions for example. It would be great if this PEP were to be resurrected.
