I haven't found that to be the case. Linters are quite effective, as long as you discipline the students to use them.

Maybe my imagination is just poor, but I think the burden of proof is on those who would add --with-training-wheels to the implementation. (N.B. This is an implementation issue, not something that would be in the language spec! :-) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
