Ezio Melotti added the comment: > do you know of any other cases where this gives a misleading error message?
Actually my concern was about cases where the new error might be wrong/misleading, but I haven't checked yet. If there are no such cases I think we should fix it; the error message will be better in the few cases we have in the stdlib and for all the external libs that are using the function. Another thing that I haven't checked is if there are similar functions (e.g. to parse kwargs) that needs the same treatment (#16520 might be one such example). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16543> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
