The issue is if the dictionary has a key defined and the value is None. Your get expression will return None, causing your next access to raise an error.

Ah, I see. Still, I'd just catch that exception and move on because it's obvious you won't have anything more deeply nested anyway. Blowing up on `None` is an easy short-circuit.
