      Tbf python guidelines encourage it over if/else in cases like this. “Easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission” or something along the lines

        Day 598 of asking for a way to tell which functions throw exceptions in Python so I can know when to wrap in try catch. Seems to me that every other language has this, but when I’ve asked for at least a linter that can tell me I’m calling a function that throws, the general answer has been “why would you want that?”

        How am I supposed to ask for forgiveness if it’s impossible to know that I’m doing something risky in the first place?

    I mean I was originally angry about this toss-up, but since it hit an investment company… good guy Google?

    I’m confused now.

      UniSuper is a superannuation fund (think 401k), it’s one of the good ones in that it doesn’t take commissions and profits go to members

      Stay confounded at Google’s incompetence.
