I have a dictionary like this:

d = {
  "message": "...",
  "type": {
    "color": "...",
    "serverity": "high"
  }
}

I have a function that I wanted to return a value by it's address. for example:

my_func('type\severity')

should return: high.
Is there a way to this?

What you have try so far, can you share more about your implementation? – Emre Savcı May 14 '18 at 14:57
serverity? or severity? – Jean-François Fabre May 14 '18 at 14:58
@Emre I just want to know if there is a way to access this way or not. what kind of implementation do you need to see? – ehsan shirzadi May 14 '18 at 14:59
You need to split the address string into its components and then use them as keys in the nested dictionary (hint: use the `split` string method). – mkrieger1 May 14 '18 at 15:00
@Jean-FrançoisFabre please forget about spelling dude! help me :) – ehsan shirzadi May 14 '18 at 15:00
No, there's no built in way to do what you're looking for. If you've tried to implement it yourself, show what you've tried and describe how it failed. – glibdud May 14 '18 at 15:01
