Here's another way to think of it: The call s[i] raising an IndexError isn't a numerical error, it is a conceptual error. Knowing that i==15 and len(s)==10 doesn't usually help resolve the problem. The fix typically isn't replacing s[i] with s[i - 5]. Usually the issue is usually deeper than that. Note, this is different than KeyError where misspellings are common and where the fix can be indicated by knowing the key: d['missteak'] -> d['mistake']. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44166> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
