New submission from Sworddragon: Currently the documentation does sometimes say about specific exceptions but most times not. As I'm often catching exceptions to ensure a high stability this gets a little difficult. For example print() can trigger a BrokenPipeError and the most file functions like flush() can trigger other related IOError's. So I would like to see something like a listing on every function which contains all exceptions that may appear. Also there are some special cases like close(). For example it can trigger an IOError too if there are pending write operations due to an implicit call of flush(). But if the file object is opened in read-only mode or there are no write operations this can't happen. Maybe such additional information can be added too. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 203535 nosy: Sworddragon, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Listing of all exceptions for every function type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19672> _______________________________________
