It isn't clear that this is a bug at all. Non-ascii Unicode strings are just a special case of the more general problem of what to do if printing the exception raises. If str(exception.message) raises, suppressing the message seems like a perfectly reasonable approach to me. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
