I think what the OP wants is to have re.match either return a match or raise an exception. Yes, and my point is that simply attempting to access an attribute will do exactly that. It's not a silent failure.
Why create a new argument, then mandate that you use it everywhere, just to achieve what's already happening?
Because the end user message would be much better, and the exception would point to the exact line where the match didn't occur, instead of some subsequent line. Eric
