Antoine Pitrou added the comment: This is not about stderr though, this is about the `file` argument that is passed to showwarning(). That stderr may be an invalid file is a rather rare condition, for good reason (even if you want to silence any program output, it is generally better to redirect stderr to /dev/null rather than make it an invalid or closed file).
It would be better to research why the original except clause was added than try to blindly extend it, IMO. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22298> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
