How find all childrens values of a nested dictionary, fast!

[macm]

Hi Folks

Thanks a lot

Script from Diez works:

print list(f(a))

but should be

print list(f(a['a']['b']))

to fit my example.



About Peter script

I am receiving

>>> for v in f(a['a']['b']):
...     b.extend(v)
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

I am trying understand this error.

Best Regards and thanks a lot again!
