Actually, this prompts me to write about an issue I have with PEP 352. I actually don't think it's necessary (yes, I know it's already in the tree).
Much to personal pain and sprint time. Are you trying to make me shed a manly tear, Barry?!? =)
So it isn't that PEP 352 is unnecessary since there is nothing here about deprecating string execptions and making built-in exceptions new-style. You just want to change the renaming of the exceptions.
Yes, sorry Brett! No the other things about PEP 352 are all good, and I was only commenting about the new hierarchy changes. I still don't like that part of the PEP, but I appreciate the competing compromises being made so I can live with it for Python 2.x.
I still like my idea of a ControlFlowException, but that died with PEP 348 (along with part of my innocence).
Good! The sooner you replace that with soul-crushing defeatism the happier you will be!
Just remember that PEP 348 was meant for Py3K when we are supposed to break stuff and how much resistence I hit. Granted my changes were more radical, but even in the end, small changes were resisted heavily. In other words, make sure you have the time and energy to take this on. =)
I know all about soul-crushing PEP championship, which is why I'm such a happy person. :) -Barry
