&lt;p&gt;Apparently, there&#39;s &lt;a class=&#34;reference external&#34; href=&#34;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/proposed-legislation-aims-to-settle-date-debate-1.3407640&#34;&gt;no standard for writing dates&lt;/a&gt; in Canada.
I assumed that Canada used the annoying US-style convention of MM/DD/YYYY.
I didn&#39;t realize that the British-style DD/MM/YYYY is also widespread.
How exasperating!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personally, I always write YYYY-MM-DD whenever I can get away with it,
as God and &lt;a class=&#34;reference external&#34; href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601&#34;&gt;ISO 8601&lt;/a&gt; intended.
A bill is before the Canadian parliament aiming at standardizing on year-month-day formats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;Pages: 402&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;Keywords: adult fantasy&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;Reading period: 20–26 December, 2015&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take a heavy dose of &lt;a class=&#34;reference external&#34; href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narnia&#34;&gt;Narnia&lt;/a&gt;,
add a hefty dollop of &lt;a class=&#34;reference external&#34; href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter&#34;&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/a&gt;,
stir in some &lt;a class=&#34;reference external&#34; href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Easton_Ellis&#34;&gt;Bret Easton Ellis&lt;/a&gt;
and a dash of &lt;a class=&#34;reference external&#34; href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Catcher_in_the_Rye&#34;&gt;The Catcher in the Rye&lt;/a&gt;,
then cook for adults.
That glib description shortchanges &lt;a class=&#34;reference external&#34; href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magicians_(Grossman_novel)&#34;&gt;The Magicians&lt;/a&gt;,
even though Fillory clearly owes a major debt to Narnia
and the preppy Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy somewhat resembles Hogwarts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quentin Coldwater is an overachieving, solitary math nerd from Brooklyn,
who thinks he&#39;s attending an entrance interview for Princeton
but instead gains admittance to Brakebills.
Magic turns out to be real, but difficult, requiring much grinding practice and study.
It&#39;s not all dull work:
Quentin and his girlfriend Alice end up sharing a house
with the hedonistic Practical Kids until graduation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moving to New York,
they lose themselves in sensual pleasure and ennui.
The morning after Quentin estranges Alice
by sleeping with the predatory Janet,
they are all astounded
when Penny, another former classmate,
brings them a button which can transport them to Fillory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The five Fillory books were written in the 1930s
about the Chatwin children,
who travel from England to the mystical land of Fillory
where they reign as kings and queens.
Quentin has always been a huge fan of the books,
yearning to fill the void in his life
with the simple adventures of Fillory.
Neither he nor the others had actually believed that Fillory existed, however.
Fillory turns out to be much darker than they expect,
as The Beast who now reigns there,
pulls them into a trap that shatters them.
Quentin survives but emerges more depressed than ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Magicians&lt;/em&gt; is funny and inventive and somber,
and I highly recommend it.
Quentin, for all his irritating flaws, is an interesting character,
who eventually grows up,
at great cost to himself and his friends.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>We use <a class="reference external" href="http://nose.readthedocs.org/">Nose</a> to run unit tests.
I noticed that we had some tests that weren't being run,
and it took me some time to work out why.
Eventually, I found this <a class="reference external" href="https://www.hyperink.com/blog/?p=22">checklist</a>,
which told me to &quot;make sure the files in your tests directory are not executable&quot;.</p>
<p>A quick <tt class="docutils literal">chmod <span class="pre">-x</span> *.py</tt> later and <tt class="docutils literal">nosetests project/tests</tt> suddenly found all the tests.</p>
<p>Now that I know what to look for, I found this in the Nose docs:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It is important to note that the default behavior of nose
is to not include tests from files which are executable.</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--exe</span></tt>: Look for tests in python modules that are executable.
