Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: A SystemError indicates that an internal API was given bogus input or produces bogus output (i.e. we screwed up somewhere, or a third party is messing with interfaces they shouldn't be)
If data validation fails for part of the public C API (whether it is visible to Python code or not), then ValueError is the right thing to raise. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11286> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
