We don't return errors in our public methods so our SDK still feels Pythonic. We're debating whether to add `_safe` suffix methods that return errors to give people the option, but for now our library only throws errors to consumers.

You might ask "well what's the point if you still throw errors to consumers?" We feel that forcing our engineers to deal with errors where they can happen is worthwhile. Our team writes a lot of Go and we love how it forces you to think about every spot that can error, so we wanted the same experience in Python

OK, in that case I think it's a very reasonable choice! Perhaps it's worth clarifying that in the article.

I might express a slight preference that your internal code is idiomatic if I'm going to be poking around in there at some point. But I wouldn't be bikeshedding about your C coding style if you'd provided a Python module written in C, so I don't feel I should have a strong opinion as a user here.
