Is it worth the hassle? We can just port our existing error handlers, and I guess the few third-party error handlers written in C (if any) can bear the transition.
That was my question exactly. As the author of PEP 393, I was leaning towards full backwards compatibility, but you, Victor, and Guido tell me not to worry - so I won't :-)
While we need to keep the old api, I do not think we do not need to encourage its continued use by actively supporting it with new code. When 3.3 comes out, I think it should be socially OK to write C code only for 3.3+ by only using the new api. -- Terry Jan Reedy
