I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature request, but it seems as though
the following should produce the same result:
In [1]: 'a' + 'b' + 'c'
Out[1]: 'abc'
In [2]: sum(('a', 'b', 'c'))

'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!

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.

I have a module that contains an import statement that imports a large number

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
an item that is likely to be found early in the search process (i.e., at a
high level in the folder tree

`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:
RuntimeError: sys.path must be a list of directory names

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.

New submission from Phillip M. Feldman :
With `argparse`, I'm providing a triple-quoted string via the `description`
argument of the constructor. When I invoke the script with the -h or --help
argument, all formatting in the triple-quoted string is lost, i.e., all
paragraphs are run

Hello Steven,
I'm embarrassed to report that I can't reproduce the problem. The
input line is parsed correctly if I enclose the string 'Demo IO' in
double quotes. It is parsed incorrectly if I enclose it in single
quotes

I'm beginning to understand the reasoning. This is quite a bit more complex
than I initially thought, and I appreciate the explanations.

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

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:

It appears that there is currently no way to import from a file whose

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

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,

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
