This is from... well, probably not yesterday like I said in other comment, but a couple days ago. The module `jsonschema` has an API where it raises an exception if `validate()` doesn't succeed (None if things are happy). I don't love that API, so want to wrap it. def not_valid(instance, schema): try: return validate(instance, schema) except ValidationError as err: return str(err) I really wanted that to be one line rather than a helper function, and it really feels like it should be possible... and yet. -- The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the not-yet born.
