Clean code tip in Python:

Use .get() to access a value by key in a dictionary with a default value.

This makes the code shorter and clearer.

The method returns the value for the key if it exists, otherwise it returns the specified default value.

Example:

user_info = {
    "username": "john_doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
    # the key "role" is missing
}

email = user_info.get("email", None)     # Result: "john@example.com"
user_role = user_info.get("role", "guest")  # Result: "guest"
