Re: [Python-Dev] Deprecating string exceptions

Is there any controversy that string exceptions should, eventually, be deprecated? If not, then let's come up with a road map for deprecating them, even if their use doesn't raise a deprecation warning in Python 2.3.

Good point. I do want to start deprecating them, but slowly because they're used so much. Maybe you can draft a brief PEP? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
