I am +1 on deprecating string exceptions for Python 3.
PEP 317 actually proposes formally deprecating them in 2.4, and eliminating them entirely in 3.0. Are you +1 on that?
Given how deeply embedded string exceptions are in Python, I believe that we cannot afford to issue a DeprecationWarning until we start doing the same for integer division. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "If you don't know what your program is supposed to do, you'd better not start writing it." --Dijkstra
