floodlight.io.utils.get_and_convert(dic, key, value_type, default=None)[source]

Performs dictionary get and type conversion simultaneously.

Parameters:

  • key (Any) – Key to be looked up.

  • value_type (type) – Desired output type the value should be cast into.

  • default (Any, optional) – Return value if key is not in dic, defaults to None.

Returns:

value – Returns the value for key if key is in dic, else default. Tries type conversion to type(value) = value_type. If type conversion fails, e.g. by trying to force something like float(None) due to a missing dic entry, value is returned in its original data type.

value_type
