I wrote the below code

    def getter(value):
        if ET.iselement(value):
            value = value.attrib
        try:
            if _is_re_match(value):
                return value.group(item)
            else:
                return value[item]
        except (KeyError, IndexError):
            return default
        except (TypeError, AttributeError) as err:
            raise ValueError(err)
    return transform(getter)

What's a good function header?

Here's a good function header?
