This problem is universal -- every except clause (in theory) can have this problem. I'd much rather deal with this in a systematic way in the Python VM's exception handling machinery. Modifying every potentially affected except clause to use some additional boilerplate doesn't strike me as a good solution. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
