That's really useful to hear, especially from you, (presuming you're the same wbond who wrote oscrypto)! Have you written or considered writing a longer-form expansion on these experiences? And yeah, in spite/because of all i

Hmm, the way the risk aversity in the payments climate is going, my instinct would be to look for the smallest/youngest company with the least to lose? It's a tough line to walk. Balanced is out, and if Stripe's not having it

Note that Boltons also supports Python 3, while retaining individual module independence. Happy bolting and cooooool-RRunnings!

Python 3 support has been added as of Boltons 0.6.

Please do! Quality is not uniform throughout the library, and while mro_items covered my use cases, I fully anticipate others might have more comprehensive approaches.

by mhashemi 12y ago
That's right! Boltons are meant to replace those one liners, unless you really really think downstream customers are going to be impressed with code golf birdies. ;)

Hahaha, true! Get good look, that'll be gone tonight.

One returns a list of lists, the other an iterator of lists. split_iter() docs say, "split_iter() yields lists of non-separator values," whereas split() docs say, "Returns a list of lists." Still, I'll look at clari

They're around. Doctests cover most of the library, many modules have main()s that take care of some more complex unit tests, then the applications that use the utilities cover a lot of regression cases. Tests are kept as close to the

Python 3 support is pretty trivial for all the ones that come to mind. I'll look into it tonight.

gevent has lots of benefits outside monkeypatching! That said, historically we mostly chose gevent as it seemed like the better interface to greenlet, which we really liked. For the most part, we were (and in many cases still are) trying to
