Richard Oudkerk <shibt...@gmail.com> added the comment: There are plenty of other "bad" exception classes apart from CalledProcessError, including TimeoutExpired in the same file. In fact I suspect this is true of the majority of the exception classes in the stdlib which override __init__. So I am not sure how much good it would do to fix just one example.
Python 3.x's Pool wraps bad exception instances in a MaybeEncodingError class which at least lets you see a stringification of the original exception. I am not sure whether you would want to see a backport of this. Even though 2.7 is in bug fix mode, I think a backport would still be appropriate since it stops a pickling error from killing a worker process, causing a hang. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9400> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
