_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): Don't test Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag, just go ahead and initialize the class-based standard exceptions. If this fails, we throw a Py_FatalError.
Isn't a Py_FatalError overkill? Or will not having the class-based standard exceptions lead to so much havoc later on that it is better than limping on? -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.oratrix.nl/~jack | see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/spg-l/sigaction.htm

There will be *no* exception objects -- they will all be NULL pointers. It's not clear that you will be able to limp very far, and it's better to have a clear diagnostic at the source of the problem. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
