R. David Murray added the comment: Your suggestion could probably be applied as a bug fix to maintenance releases, but is it worth the effort? We don't generally try to protect programmers from themselves in Python.
On the other hand, there should clearly be a way to provide the 'explain' text as well as the message text. In 3.4 we could add an 'explain' keyword to send_error. If only explain is specified, we'd use the shortmsg for message. That way, a programmer writing new code can make it work the way they want it to, while existing code will continue to work the way it used to. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12921> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
