Hello Guido, I'm just wondering: as we are heading towards Exception being a new-style class (no old-style classes being supported currently) I can see a very theoretical problem which must already have been discussed in python-dev (has it?): raise x should be "raise x()" if issubclass(x, Exception) and "raise x" if isinstance(x, Exception). What if:
class exception(object): pass ... class f(type, exception): pass ... x = f('x', (exception,), {}) isinstance(x, exception) 1 issubclass(x, exception) 1
Ok that's kind of a joke :-) Armin
