Julian Berman added the comment: Yes that's a good description. I'm not sure the type of exception is the thing to look at as much as the behavior, I.e. I think next() is a good precedent.
And it's not really pleasant to do this with a try/except. Of course everything's possible, but to catch the ValueError sanely requires checking the text of the exception so that the except isn't too broad. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18111> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
