For the record, I still really don't like PEP 463. We should strive to catch fewer exceptions, not make it easier to catch them.
I certainly agree with the first part, slightly reworded: we should strive to generate fewer exceptions that we have to catch. I disagree with the second part: being able to condense four lines of code (1 for try, 1 for except, 1 for the attempt, and 1 for recovery) in to one line of code seems like a win. I know I find it frustrating when my choice is between the 4-line boiler-plate try/except, or an equally verbose and ugly multi-line non-exception generating stanza. Anyway, my two cents worth. If you collect them all for this subject I think I owe you a dime. ;) -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
