That's what I did on my first day :D Setting up my dev environment for the first time, the 'run this to make sure it is set up' script was failing. After walking the debugger through several 'this should not happen' oddities, the developer that was helping me eventually figured out I was running with '-O'. Ended my first day with "No-one uses -O, don't use it."
After spending some time thinking about it, I concluded that I can't be the only developer to be in this situation. I think that if the bar was higher than 'Don't use -O' for using assertions as part of program logic, people new to the language wont be as likely to pick up this habit. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/47GWSXEQZ5VCHJYULARYNAWLC72GQCVA/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
