I suppose that I am willing to lessen my expectations from _all_ to most.
;-) Regarding your example I could also do:
if something():
def nothing(): return 0
else:
def nothing(): return 1
But this doesn't stop IDEs from attempting to do auto-completion. I'm not
trying to find hidden exceptions... just trying to easily get an idea of
what could go wrong on each line of code.
