Python - How to obtain UserID in Alexa Skill using ask_sdk_core.handler_input
I'm working on a toy Alexa skill and I'm following the example in the Number Guessing Game (code here). In the example they
from ask_sdk_core.handler_input import HandlerInput
@sb.request_handler(can_handle_func=is_request_type("LaunchRequest"))
def launch_request_handler(handler_input):
"""Handler for Skill Launch.
Get the persistence attributes, to figure out the game state.
"""
# type: (HandlerInput) -> Response
attr = handler_input.attributes_manager.persistent_attributes
this attr object allows me to persist information across the session. In the Alexa Developer console I see this data in the JSON under 'session':'attributes' - I also see 'session':'user':'userId'
How do I access the userId data using the handler_input in this function?

So the data in the handler_input can be extracted when you convert it to a 'dict'
step1 = handler_input.__dict__
step2 = step1['request_envelope'].__dict__
step3 = step2['session'].__dict__
step4 = step3['user'].__dict__
userid = step4['user_id']
It may be possible to do it in fewer steps, but this is what got it working for me.
