I don’t like the idea either; but I think I like your version even less. It reads perfectly well, but with the wrong meaning. Even though I know what you’re intending, I can’t make myself read that as result getting bound to what f returns, only as result getting bound to the exception. The original version, by contrast, is weird and confusing as English (and unnecessary, since you could do the exact same thing with a normal except clause and result=f(esc) instead of pass as the body…) but clearly result is getting bound to something to do with f. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/IVQBBVRAJBJSHHI4X5MINYTMWFZVJRMY/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
