I have a dict that uses "Email" and "Email__other" it would be great if you could add an option to search "if in key" instead of if key is equal to.

Thanks for putting this in pip. Saved me some time!

Interesting idea. Another option is creating a new function like multi_nested_lookup that changes key to keys and does an if k in keys. In this case we would recurse once and collect values for any number of deeply nested keys in one go. The returned result would have to be a dictionary of lists, instead of a list I think.

On second thought, I think your way is easier to implement and keeps the existing return behavior. I'll see what I can come up with today.
