Instead of raising a generic AttributeError, it preserves the actual failure cause, making debugging easier.\n\nThe package is useful when you need to read or write values deep within a complex object hierarchy using a single string path, such as `'friends[0].settings[\"style\"][\"width\"]'`. It supports get, set, and delete operations on combinations of object attributes, list indices (including negative indexing), and dictionary keys. It explicitly blocks unsafe operations like function calls, expressions, and slicing.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need safe nested attribute access and can accept an abandoned package. The code is simple and has no dependencies, so the risk of breakage is low for stable use cases. However, do not rely on it for new projects requiring active maintenance or support for future Python versions\u2014consider it a utility for existing codebases where the feature set is complete and stable."},"id":"magicattr","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/magicattr","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/magicattr.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/magicattr/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-01-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"magicattr","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A getattr and setattr that works on nested objects, lists, dicts, and any combination thereof without resorting to eval"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":5930589,"position":2008,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.6"}
