Éric Araujo added the comment: Source code says:
# derives from OSError for backwards-compatibility with Python 2.4.0 class LoadError(OSError): pass In 3.0, LoadError could have been made a direct subclass of Exception. Now it’s too late, but a best practice IMO would still be to write LoadError in all new code. This makes no practical difference, unless test_cookiejar does not check that LoadError is properly raised and caught at the right places. In that case, it may be a little more future-proof to follow py-user’s advice. ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
