PowerShell is able to reference or store an item from array or just depict it from ingress or egress with the inline $_.<variable> or $<variable>.name.

Is there a way I can do it easily with Python the same way for variables and parts of array?

$s = {bob,12,north,frank}
$s.[1] <12>

Here is a quick example:

# Get a specific service - in this case, the "Windows Update" service
$service = Get-Service -Name wuauserv

# Display basic information about the service using dot notation
Write-Host "Service Name: $($service.Name)"
Write-Host "Display Name: $($service.DisplayName)"
Write-Host "Status: $($service.Status)"
Write-Host "Start Type: $($service.StartType)"
Write-Host "Dependent Services: $($service.DependentServices.Count)"

# Check if the service is stopped and start it if it is
if ($service.Status -eq 'Stopped') {
    Write-Host "Service is stopped. Attempting to start..."
    # Start the service using a method
    $service.Start()

    # Refresh service status
    $service.Refresh()
    Write-Host "New Status: $($service.Status)"
}

versus python utilising psutil:

import psutil
import subprocess

def get_service(name):
    # Get the list of all services and find the specified one
    for service in psutil.win_service_iter():
        if service.name() == name:
            return service
    return None

def start_service(name):
    # Start the service using subprocess
    subprocess.run(['sc', 'start', name], capture_output=True)

def stop_service(name):
    # Stop the service using subprocess
    subprocess.run(['sc', 'stop', name], capture_output=True)

# Main code
service_name = 'wuauserv'
service = get_service(service_name)

if service:
    print(f"Service Name: {service.name()}")
    print(f"Display Name: {service.display_name()}")
    print(f"Status: {service.status()}")
    print(f"Description: {service.description()}")

Second Python dot notation example:

import os

# Define the directory you want to explore
directory = os.getcwd()  # Gets the current working directory

# List all files and directories in the specified directory
entries = os.listdir(directory)
print(f"Entries in {directory}:")
for entry in entries:
    # Create full path
    full_path = os.path.join(directory, entry)
    
    # Check if it's a file or directory
    if os.path.isfile(full_path):
        # Get size using os.path.getsize
        size = os.path.getsize(full_path)
        print(f"File: {entry}, Size: {size} bytes")
    elif os.path.isdir(full_path):
        print(f"Directory: {entry}")
