Serhiy Storchaka <[email protected]> added the comment:
The problem is that such exceptions are often used with the EAFP style. For
example:
while stop is None or i < stop:
try:
v = self[i]
if v is value or v == value:
return i
except IndexError:
break
i += 1
You caught IndexError and do something, but do not use the error message.
Formatting error message takes a time. I am sure that error messages of a wast
majority of IndexError exceptions are not used, just the type of the raised
exception matters.
