A conversion utility that converted 'raise item' to 'raise item()' and 'raise item,arg' to 'raise item(arg)' would definitely be helpful. A working version, or at least a promise to produce one on acceptance might make the PEP more palatable.
given that in:
raise X raise X,y raise X(...)
(likely) in most cases X is a builtin/global constant/or comes straight from an import, such a static analysis tool should be doable, for the rest the user could be informed about non-straightforward cases like:
def raise_(X,y): raise X,y
the point: such a tool could also statically detect string exceptions usage, I think PyChecker already is able of that.
Yes, it does. PyChecker could be modified to check for 'raise item' vs. 'raise item()' too. I'm all for removing string exceptions, but -1 on the PEP. I don't see the benefit. It seems to require more keystrokes for at best a very small conceptual benefit. BTW, this may be more parallel to Java, but not C++. How about Ruby? Just curious... Neal
