New submission from maniram maniram : In the Python 3 docs for the raise statement, http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-raise-statement,... docs say "If no exception is active in the current scope, a TypeError exception is raised indicating that this is an error (if running under IDLE, a queue.Empty exception is raised instead). This is wrong in Python 3 because raise raises a RuntimeError and IDLE does the same (does not raise a queue.Empty Exception). The text should be "If no exception is active in the current scope, a RuntimeError exception is raised indicating that this is an error." ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 150382 nosy: docs@python, maniram.maniram priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs in Python 3:raise statement mistake versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue13683 _______________________________________
