Is there an actual use case for something like this? I'm legitimately curious.

I'm kinda tempted to use it in a script I'm making to scrape one of my government's databases, because they have a lot of malformed data I don't want to deal with, and because fuck it.

When you have to demonstrate your software in front of Very Important Clients in ten minutes and you can't afford to have a single error popping up.

yes, there is. Imagine yourself on an airplane on your way to doing that million dollar demo to investors. And some bozo decided to do a last minute change to log something inconsequential that actually started throwing an error. Now your demo page looks like "Oops! We screwed up!". You have no time to debug this. So you just plugin in this module and see if it still good enough for your demo. If it does, you saved yourself a million dollars. If it doesn't...

    Git? We're hustling out our MVP to disrupt the industry paradigm, we don't have time for version control! Next you'll tell me hacking on our live server is a bad thing...

On a semi-unrelated topic, can anyone imagine a use of write-only memory? I swear I'd came up with one few years ago and unable to recall it anymore.

  I use this on one of my servers for storing gpg encryped mails. I wanted to make a FUSE module out of it but was too lazy. Of course you do read the data at one point but on a different system.

The fuckit context manager is actually pretty close to a real feature in Python 3.4: https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/pull/202 https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/pull/202

  That's a pretty clever feature. I'm liking that, and the new statistics module.

Prototyping - you just made an interface change that normally would have to be plumbed though hundreds of files just so you can experiment with one of them.
