Except I'd lay the code out a bit better to emphasise which part is being guarded: result = computation( int(arg) except ValueError: abort("Invalid int") ) Actually, not quite so nice as I first thought, since you're relying on the side-effects of abort() rather than returning a value.
Think of it rather as transforming the exception to be more useful. -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ 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
