Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: People may use SystemError for other purposes, but the docs are pretty clear it is only for internal errors that indicate an interpreter bug: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/exceptions.html#SystemError
Extension modules or an embedding application passing in bad data that fails a validation check isn't such a situation, so raising TypeError or ValueError is more appropriate. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
