Presumably because they CAN still be raised; attempting to do so provokes a warning, not an error. It also facilitates upgrading from old versions of Python. You can work to eliminate cases where the exceptions are raised while still handling them if they do get raised. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus _______________________________________________ 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
