What Chris is suggesting is that several of the ideas you've proposed have had PEPs, or related ideas have had PEPs, so you would benefit from just reading the list of PEPs.
Its not just the PEPs, there are about two decades of discussions on the Python-Ideas mailing list, and others. The mailing list doesn't have the best search facilities, and Google seems to prefer to link to the Google Groups archive rather than the original archives at python.org, but with with a bit of practice and effort you can find things. https://mail.python.org/archives/search?mlist=python-ideas%40python.org&q=try+except Likewise for Discuss: https://discuss.python.org/search?q=try%20except But most importantly, half the time somebody else will do the work for you, like Steele, who linked directly to the PEP in the very first reply to this thread: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/DK45GO... For those who have got spare time, I have learned a *huge* amount about Python's history and the language by spelunking into the depths of the old mailing lists and just reading posts that catch my eye. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/ https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/ https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/ -- Steve
