Considering the python and javascript client libraries, when the number of the calendars (-m) parameter is used and one calendar isn't available the client should send the stamp to another calendars and not stop at first one (e.g. using -m 1).

What behavior should be elected?

Thank you

Currently the client stops stamp when the count is equal m and if the calendar off another public calendar aren't used.

The python impl should be considered the reference one

Considering the python and javascript client libraries, when the number of the calendars (-m) parameter is used and one calendar isn't available the client should send the stamp to another calendars and not stop at first one (e.g. using -m 1).

The client shouldn't stop at the first error for sure, at a first glance the code you are linking doesn't stop at first error, or am I missing something?
