Serhiy, it sure is. I'll note that the issue is open. Moreover, reading through
the history, Guido says it's a bug (msg160418), and there was agreement that it
should be fixed. It's unclear why it was dropped.
Can you help me get this in? I'm not sure the correct protocol, since this is
my first contrib.
Note that if this is not a bug, then there are probably bugs anywhere
issubclass(...) is used to emulate exception handling. For example, unittest's
self.assertRaises is inconsistent with the current behavior:
from abc import ABC
import unittest
class TestExceptionABC(unittest.TestCase):
def test_exception(self):
class A(Exception, ABC):
pass
class B(Exception):
pass
A.register(B)
with self.assertRaises(A, msg="Wrong exception raised"):
raise B
Test passes in python3, but not in python2.
