I don't think that is correct -- everything I've read is that Guido

You could argue five ways :-)

That's true and, I think, inevitable for anything developed
in the open source world. If you compare it to a language

We have had quite a few messages that pointed out how some people approach

I often find myself joining strings (and have mostly used + to do it).
String addition is OK in some languages, or at least bet

Suggestions on the best way to extract delimited substrings strings from
a larger string?
Background: I have a long multi-line string with expressions delimited
with '<(' and ')>' markers. I would like to extract these substrings and
process them in a loop.
Because the left and right delimiters a

Hello,
I have a block of code buried deep in a module that I expect to fail
periodically. (Calls to other machines over slow network, and such.)
Generally, though, trying it a second / third will work.
Is there clean way to write this on Python?
Thanks
