nested.get_by_path fails with default about paderbox HOT 2 OPEN

I had a reason for this, but I don't remember. I think I did this because the default value can conflict with the allow_early_stopping option, where it is not clear whether the default value or the value at the partial path should be returned when an exception is encountered. While writing I thought that the default should only be returned when a value is missing (i.e., KeyError for dict and IndexError for list/tuple). But I agree that your example should work

What behavior would you expect when get_by_path(d, 'a.b.c', default=42, allow_early_stopping=True)?

Now, where you mention this, I would say the call should fail. Early stopping and default should be alternative arguments. Wenn you provide both, I have no idea, what the function should do.
