[Python-ideas] Pre-conditions and post-conditions

[Jonathan Fine]

I've just read and article which makes a good case for providing
pre-conditions and post-conditions.

http://pgbovine.net/python-unreadable.htm

The main point is: "without proper comments and documentation, even the
cleanest Python code is incomprehensible 'in-the-large'." I find the
article to be thoughtful and well-written.

By the way the author, Philip J Guo, is also the author of

    http://pythontutor.com/

I recommend all of the above.
