We normally raise a SystemError for invalid NULL pointers, not ValueErrors. SystemError is used for things that go wrong at the C level and indicate a likely programming error at that level. The origin of that error is not important, but the check will usually happen in the interpreter. FWIW, it's also used in C extensions for much the same reason, so in the wild you'll also find SystemErrors raised by 3rd party extensions. ---------- title: Some "trivial" python 2.x pickles fails to load in Python 3.2 -> Some "trivial" python 2.x pickles fails to load in Python 3.2 _______________________________________ 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
