I am sure people mainly care about the big changes inroduced by revision 1.8 of the PEP (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0348.html). So, first is that WindowsError is staying. Enough people want it to stay and have a legitimate use that I removed the proposal to ditch it.
Second, I changed the bare 'except' proposal again to recommend its removal. I had been feeling they should just go for about a week, but I solidified my thinking when I was talking with Alex and Anna Martelli and managed to convince them bare 'except's should go after Alex initially thought they should be changed to be ``except Exception``. This obviously goes against what Guido last said he wanted, but I hope I can convince him to get rid of bare 'except's. Minor stuff is fleshing out the arguments for TerminatingException (I am sure Raymond loves that I am leaving this part in =) and adding a Roadmap for the transition. -Brett _______________________________________________ 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
