Probably, but it might mean they were no longer thread safe. An exception caught and raised in one thread would be vulnerable to having its traceback clobbered by another thread raising the same instance. There's also the possibility of a traceback unexpectedly kept alive causing GC problems -- cycles, files not closed when you expect, etc. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
