Ah, if there's a dedicated exception type already then yes, agreed that raising aifc.Error (with a suitable message) makes much more sense than raising an OverflowError or a ValueError. > if there are files with an exponent of 0x7fff in wild I hope there aren't, and I'd consider any such file to be broken/corrupted. That is, unless there's a common practice of using NaNs or infinities for the frame rate. I suppose it's conceivable that people us this as a placeholder meaning "I don't know the sample rate". No idea whether that's true in practice: I'm not a frequent user of this format. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32978> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
