Let me add something not said much here about designing functions: start
with both a clear and succinct definition *and* test cases. (I only

I am still one year in the future :-;
Which framework do you recommend? Nose? test.py?
As I explained in a followup post, I am currently using a custom
function test function that accepts i/o pairs with exception classes as
'outputs'. It was inspired by test.py, but that is both overkill and an
unwanted external dependency for my current project. I also wrote and
use an iterator test function and a specialized iterator test function
for iterators that return sequences. (For better error reporting, the
latter tests items within each sequence rather than each sequence as a
whole. This is especially helpful when the items are themselves
collections, as in some combinatorial iterators.)
