[New-bugs-announce] [issue35262] There should be a list.get just like dict.get

[Abram Clark]

New submission from Abram Clark <abram at easypost.com>:

Just like with dictionaries, it is convenient to index lists without catching exceptions. Adding an import for this most basic functionality is slightly tedious, and I can't imagine it would break anything to add a list.get method.
