[issue44993] enum.auto() starts with one instead of zero

David Rebbe added the comment: Thank you for referencing the PEP, I just managed to read through it and I still don't have a very good understanding why it needs to default to 1. PEP 435 states: "The reason for defaulting to 1 as the starting number and not 0 is that 0 is

David Rebbe added the comment: Seems like there is a misunderstanding here as to why this is an issue. I can write an example up that would expand on the file I attached, but I feel like anyone that has experience in the above situations would identify this as an issue. Can I ask why

David Rebbe <dre...@intrepidcs.com> added the comment: Oops I didn't realize I referenced the tutorial documentation. Maybe it would be better to mention this behavior in the tutorial documentation also. I've always assumed exception raises take priority over any return/break/con

[issue32822] finally block doesn't re-raise exception if return statement exists inside

New submission from David Rebbe <dre...@intrepidcs.com>: According to the docs: "When an exception has occurred in the try clause and has not been handled by an except clause (or it has occurred in an except or else clause), it is re-raised after the finally clause has been execu
