It's easy, but it's also often correct. >From my reading of this thread, there HAS been evidence given that DbC can be beneficial in some cases. I do not believe there has been evidence enough to cite the number of projects on PyPI as "this is how many projects would benefit". Part of the trouble is finding a concise syntax for the contracts that is still sufficiently expressive.
