There’s a number of ways to solve this that comes to mind: Pants fixes: • revert the PR • add option to

.get_safe()

an option so it doesn’t throw toolchain plugin workaround hack: • access the ranked value directly rather than go through

.get()

I think it makes more sense to fix this in Pants though..

actually, the code that “should” throw uses the

__getattr__

dunder method to get the value, so

.get()

could be made safe by default. I’ll open a PR with that.
