Also, maybe in 2.5 we could begin warning about bare excepts that aren't preceded by non-bare exceptions.
try: foo() except: print_or_log_exception_in_a_way_that_is_meaningful() raise
doesn't seem to be incorrect to me. For example, if the program is a daemon, I want the exception logged somewhere so that I can see it later, because I won't be watching stderr.
1. If the exception raised is a MemoryError, your daemon is in trouble. 2. I said *warn*, and it'd be easy to suppress the warning using 'except Exception:', if that's what you really mean 3. But I suppose this could be considered a job for pychecker.
