OK, once the cron job comes around and is run, http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0348.html will not be a 404 but be the latest version of the PEP.
Differences since my last public version is that it has BaseException/Exception as the naming hierarchy, Warning inherits from Exception, UserException is UserError, and StandardError inherits from Exception. I also added better annotations on the tree for noticing where inheritance changed and whether it become broader (and thus had a new exception in its MRO) or more restrictive (and thus lost an exception). Basically everything that Guido has brought up today (08-03).
If/when you add a "Getting there from here" section, it would be worth noting that there are a few basic strategies to be applied: - for new exceptions: - just add them in release 2.x - for name changes: - add the new name as an alias in release 2.x - deprecate the old name in release 2.x - delete the old name in release 2.(x+1) - to switch inheritance to a new exception type: - add the inheritance to the new parent in release 2.x - delete the inheritance from the old parent in release 3.0 - to switch inheritance to an existing exception type: - add the inheritance to the new parent in release 3.0 - delete the inheritance from the old parent in release 3.0 Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia --------------------------------------------------------------- http://boredomandlaziness.blogspot.com
