But what about class exceptions that don't inherit from Exception? That will take a while before we can deprecate that. Anyway, there have been plenty of cases where I was only interested in catching arbitrary exceptions generated by *Python* (as opposed to broken 3rd party code or even obscure Python library code) and those all inherit from Exception. And in those cases I've written "except Exception:" and so far never regretted it. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
