whatthewhat was inspired by some comments Lynn Root made about teaching new developers that it is OK to search for error messages as part of learning about Python and programming in general.
Example
Use wtw to run your python script, and if the script throws an
exception whatthewhat will open a Google search for the error message
in your browser.
$ wtw ./tester.py
Searching for: TypeError unhashable type: 'list'
