I gave a talk last night at the Vancouver Python users group on 2.6/3.0, and I tried the following code and it failed during a live demo::>>> try: pass ... except Exception, Exception: pass File "<stdin>", line 2 except Exception, Exception: pass ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Now from what I can tell from PEP 3110, that should be legal in 3.0. Am I reading the PEP correctly?
Don't think so. The parens are necessary for a tuple of exceptions lest it be confused with the old "except E, v" syntax which meant "except E as e". Maybe in 3.1, the paren requirement can be dropped. But for 3.0, it would be a problem given that old scripts would start getting misinterpreted. I did something similar for list.sort() by requiring keyword arguments. That way, we wouldn't have list.sort(f) running with f as a cmp function 2.6 and as a key function in 3.0.
