i use dictionaries to hold some config data,

conf={'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'}
and so on...
when i try to process conf, i have to code every time like:
if conf.has_key('key1'):
if conf['key1']<>'':
other commands....
this is very annoying.
in php, i was able to code only like:
if conf['key1']=='someth'
in python, this fails, because, if key1 does not exists, it raises an exception.
MY question:
is there a way to directly get value of an array/tuple/dict item by key,
as in php above, even if key may not exist, i should not check if key exist,
i should only use it, if it does not exist, it may return only empty,
just as in php....
i hope you understand my question...
See http://docs.python.org/lib/typesmapping.html for a description of
the get method of dictionaries.
Also look at the
key in dict
syntax on the same page.
