Nadeem Vawda <nadeem.va...@gmail.com> added the comment: I don't think there's any harm in testing that the exception message for a .bz2 file contains the string "unknown archive format". It's unlikely that we'll want to completely change the error message in future, and if we do, it will be pretty easy and obvious to fix.

Is it okay to change that to > ValueError? Sounds fine by me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14061> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
