+1! I used to dislike this because there are use cases for letting the exception survive the except clause, but I think I can get used to it, and it seems the most straightforward solution of all that I've seen. We could completely get rid of sys.exc_info()! I think we have a winner here. Explicitly created cycles are no big deal IMO -- these are no worse than current code that explicitly stores sys.exc_info()[2]. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
