Out of curiosity, what were the others? I was under the impression that EnvironmentError would catch OSError and IOError, but I don't know what else is going wrong. > As such, instead of continuing to find out (the hard way) all the > possible failure cases for this apparently horribly buggy library > function, I'd prefer to simply catch any exception and fallback. Ok. I'm just asking if there's a chance we'll surpress a legtimiate error. If it's the case that any negative result out of this function means we should just use something else, then it's not really a problem. > I'm just tired of having to workaround this function. I hope you'll forgive me for asking, but why not remove it completely then? -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
