Re: [Python-ideas] suggestion for try/except program flow

Guido already said this, but yes, something did change in 3.0: unlike the 2.x series, the raise statement in 3.x only accepts instances of BaseException, so having both an "except BaseException:" clause and a bare "except:" clause becomes redundant.

Ah, apologies... I need to update myself. 'uncatch' to subsequently execute the else clause is still going to be impossible, but I don't have a real-world need for that as yet. Cheers
