Then we can discuss how these contracts. It would be an inaccurate estimate of the benefits of DbC in Python, but it's at least better than no estimate. We can have as little as 10 functions for the start. Hopefully a couple of other people would join, so then we can even see what the variance of contracts would look like.

Our mails crossed in the ether, sorry.
