The Importance of Testing Python Code

Python is more common in Python code to not check stuff, just go ahead and do it. And then I write a lot of tests around things. So I don't usually do the checking stuff. The one time that I'll do the test, the look before you leave style is if I think I can fix it right? Does this directory not exist? Then I'm going to write to it. But if you're just going to say this didn't work, chances are, you still need the error handling in exception format anyway.
