I don't like the idea of storing exceptions. Let's just say that we don't care whether it re-raises the very same StopIteration exception that was passed in or a different one -- it's all moot anyway because the StopIteration instance is thrown away by the caller of next(). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
