If anyone currently does catch the error raising only AttributeError will break their code. 2.5 should just raise an AttributeError, of course.
If that's acceptable I'll gladly submit a similar patch for mmap.get_byte() PyErr_SetString (PyExc_ValueError, "read byte out of range"); has always irked me (the same thing with mmap[i] is an IndexError). I hadn't thought of a clean way to fix it, but MI on the error might work. -jackdied _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
