Most uses for chained divmod() involve a + constant modulus (in radix conversions for example) and are more + properly coded as a loop. The example of splitting seconds + into days/hours/minutes/seconds does not generalize to months + and years; rather, the whole use case is handled more flexibly and + robustly by date and time modules. The other use cases mentioned + in the PEP are somewhat rare in real code. The proposal is also + problematic in terms of clarity and obviousness. In the examples, + it is not immediately clear that the argument order is correct or + that the target tuple is of the right length. Users from other + languages are more likely to understand the standard two argument + form without having to re-read the documentation. See python-dev + discussion on 17 June 2005. Specification
