pep8 compliant deep dictionary access

Question

What is the pep8 compliant way to do deep dictionary access?

dct = {
    \'long_key_name_one\': {
        \'long_key_name_two\': {
            \'long_key_nam         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps not the best way, but it works:

a = dct['long_key_name_one']['long_key_name_two']
b = a['long_key_name_three']['long_key_name_four']['long_key_name_five']

But this also works, which is the suggested method:

print (dct['long_key_name_one']['long_key_name_two']
       ['long_key_name_three']['long_key_name_four']
       ['long_key_name_five'])
