When running coverage, lines that should have run but didn't are called "unexecuted." What's a word for the opposite? Lines we said wouldn't run, but did: Sneaks? Surprises? Gremlins? Escapees?
We need ideas!

(also need opinions about how to report...)

Does PyCharm really use its own --omit switch on the command line? Should coverage․py combine the command line and the config? Or should the command line win like it does now?

Many people might be thinking about new jobs this week. 2U/edX is hiring: 2u.com/careers/jobs/
Almost all of our software is open source (as @OpenEdX): we educate the world, and give away software so that others can too.
(plz RT? thx)

Default values for #Python functions are stored once, and shared by all the function calls. You can (but don't!) change the object and future calls will see the changes.

Should coverage․py report on excluded lines that were actually executed? How would you want that to work?

“The idea that I can decide my open-source purpose feels a bit like a genie granting me a wish, and then I have to deal with the unanticipated plot twists that result.”

Looking for opinions: when combining data files, should “*/foo” match “foo/bar”? Should relative_files=True mean that we always match file paths by prefixes?
