New submission from Brett Cannon: TypeError could grow an 'unexpected_type' attribute to store the type of the argument that was used to trigger the exception. Since types are expected to not be deleted there is no GC worry.
Having an 'expected' attribute makes no sense in the face of a union of types, etc. (unless the assumption of a frozenset is made for the attribute). Plus exceptions typically do not contain info on what would have been acceptable (although in this instance it may make sense). ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 190780 nosy: brett.cannon priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Add 'unexpected_type' to TypeError type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18165> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
