What's the point of that? All you are doing is catching the exception and then
immediately raising it again. That's the same as not catching it.

So the first thing is that when asking for help, be *extra careful* that the

Is there any way that higher_or_lower gets the value "to low"?
No. Remember that Python can't read your mind and realise that when you check
for "to low", you actually mean just "low". So there is no way that the first
if... clause will be triggered, so it always falls through to the else clause
and prints "Sorry your are too high. Try again."

This is clearly unhelpful:

Explain the difference between these two triple-quoted strings:
Here is a triple-quoted string containing spaces and a triple-quote:

' """ '
But remove the spaces, and two of the quotation marks disappear:

Something like this should do it. It gives up immediately on fatal errors
and tries again on temporary
The bug tracker currently has a discussion of a bug in the median(),
median_low() and median_high() functions that they wrongly compute the
medians in the face of NANs in the data:

I would like to ask people how they would prefer to handle this issue:

Statistically, ignoring NANs is equivalent to taking them as missing
values. That is, for the purposes of calculating some statistic (let's
say, median, although it applies to other

We'd love to help if only we knew what you wanted.
Can you explain what you want? Give an example of the data you are
working with and the results you expect?

Yes it can.

Not reliably or safely. It will appear to work so long as you have only
