My only aversion to raising an exception is that it goes against the original intent of maxlen as giving an automatic-pop-to-make-room behavior. Rather that introduce a discontinuity, I like the "smoothness" of letting d.insert(len(d), obj) follow the insert-normally-then-pop-from-the-right rule as opposed to having a special case.
