You could simply do:

is working correctly it looks like this:
else:
raise SomeException("{} can't happen!".format(the_context))

or Vim that will allow simple
reindenting and a bunch of other cool cursor movement powers I
don't even use. ctags will also work, though I've never really
needed it.

indespensable. But even though I can do the same with Python, it
doesn't feel crucial when writing Python. The errors are more

I agree.
Vim is great, Emacs is great. I'm glad I know one of them. But

using the sprintf family. int would need to return a tuple of the
number it found plus the number of characters consumed to be more
useful for parsing.
