I dislike this syntax. Raise what as OtherError()? I think the "raise x from None" idea is preferable, since it indicates you are nulling the context. The optimal solution would be to have "raise X nocontext", but that would obviously require another keyword... -- Regards, Benjamin _______________________________________________ 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
