Hello Mark,
This is a fair question. Suppose that I have three boxes with capacity
limits of 3, 2, and 1, and that there are three balls in total. Two of the
possible distributions are the following:
2, 0, 1
2, 1, 0

Hello Martin,
This is a fine example of the so-called "is-ought" controversy. The error
message is indeed telling me exactly what the problem is, but the underlying
problem is that this scheme was poorly thought out. Clearly, the stripping

I eventually determined that a call to `subprocess.Popen` was responsible

I have a module that contains an import statement that imports a large number
of items. This import was failing with the following error message:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
The message would be so much more

Hello Steve,
I'm buying only 50 percent of this. The Python interpreter must know what
module it was trying to import, and can at least be able to report that.

'Should include "_ssl" somewhere in the message?' Exactly so. If a given
import statement imports 30 items, it would be helpful to know which one
caused the hickup. Thanks!

With `argparse`, I'm providing a triple-quoted string via the `description`

That works. Thanks!
I think that this boils down to a documentation issue. The following says
that the default behavior is to line-wrap the help messages. At least to
me, this doesn't imply that whitespace is getting eaten.

`imp.find_module` goes down in flames if one tries to pass an iterator rather
than a list of folders. Firstly, the message that it produces is somewhat
misleading:

Secondly, it would be

It appears that the `importlib` package has the same issue: One can't
provide an iterator for the path. When searching a large folder tree for

high level in the folder tree)

As per the Python documentation, the following regular expression should

You are right-- the documentation does say this, although it took me a

It seems as though there's a flaw in the design here, because there

The current behavior of optparse is contrary to how most of Python
works. optparse should throw a named exception that can be trapped and
identified by the calling program. Doing a SystemExit is unacceptable.
I can't believe that this is such a hard

Thanks for the response!
I can indeed catch SystemExit, but I would like to be able to take one
action (terminate the program) if the user supplied an unknown option,
and another action (prompt for a new value) if the user supplied a bad
value for an
