[issue29660] Document that print/format_exception ignore etype
New submission from Matthias Bussonnier: As far as I can tell, http://bugs.python.org/issue17911 made a couple of function in traceback ignore their first arguments (etype) and infer the type from the second one (evalue). (In git 6bc2c1e7 and 2f0441f0 respectively). At least print_exception and format_exception are affected. This likely affect http://bugs.python.org/issue26389 (who wish to expand same API to remove these parameters). And inconsistency with `format_exception_only` which does need `etype` should be checked. If etype is a deprecated parameter it should be noted, and should likely raise a DeprecationWarning as well when set. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 288617 nosy: docs@python, mbussonn priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document that print/format_exception ignore etype versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29660> _______________________________________
