Ah; interesting. Well clearly that's exactly what I meant when I said 'raise TypeError' was better than 'raise TypeError()'. ;-) (Actually, I confess to being similarly embarrassed: I have no idea *what* I was thinking there, since 'raise TypeError()' is just as valid, if a little less idiomatic.) > That said, I totally concede Martin's point -- this is an > implementation-specific thing.

Agreed.
