I somehow have a feeling that Yury misread the PEP (or maybe my +1) as saying that the syntax for suppressing the context would be "raise <exception> from Ellipsis". That's not the case, it's "from None". -- --Guido van Rossum (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
