How to use the shyaml.NonDictLikeTypeError function in shyaml

def traverse(contents, path, default=None):
    try:
        try:
            value = mget(contents, path)
        except (IndexOutOfRange, MissingKeyError):
            if default is None:

            NonDictLikeTypeError, IndexNotIntegerError) as exc:
        msg = str(exc)
        raise InvalidPath(
            "invalid path %r, %s"
            % (path, msg.replace('list', 'sequence').replace('dict', 'struct')))
    return value

try:
            value = dct[idx]
        except IndexError:
            raise IndexOutOfRange(

        except KeyError:
            ## Replace with a more informative KeyError
            raise MissingKeyError(
