It is fair game (and necessary) when it comes to exposing bugs that are hard to reproduce. I'm wary of the original RuntimeError patch because * it modifies code that has been stable for over a decade * in order to "fix" a crasher that no one cares about * while possibly breaking code that currently works * and breaking it in a way that is hard to reproduce or diagnose. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14417> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
