Get an item from a Python object

Source: R/python.R

Retrieve an item from a Python object, similar to how x[name] might be used in Python code to access an item indexed by key on an object x. The object's __getitem__ method will be called.

py_get_item(x, key, silent = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A Python object.
key

The key used for item lookup.
silent

Boolean; when TRUE, attempts to access missing items will return NULL rather than throw an error.
