It's a little bit more difficult to explain in the reference manual. I was figuring we'd say that the exception variable is bound only in the body of the except clause; saying it becomes None when you exit sounds weirder to me. How about: except ExcType, e: try: # body finally: e = None del e Then we get the best of all three worlds: a clean explanation, a clean implementation, and a pure source-to-source transformation. Heck, you could even say the translation is: except ExcType: e = sys.exception # or whatever it's called in 3K try: # body finally: e = None del e Although I suppose you can't actually implement it that way. :) _______________________________________________ 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
