Ezio Melotti added the comment: I'm a bit late but I still have a few comments:
+ The paren-using form also means that when the exception arguments are + long or include string formatting, you don't need to use line + continuation characters thanks to the containing parentheses. This paragraph doesn't add much and could be removed IMHO. +- When binding caught exceptions to a name, prefer the explicit name + binding syntax added in Python 2.6:: + + try: + process_data() + except Exception as exc: + raise DataProcessingFailedError(str(exc)) It took me a bit to realize that this is talking about "as". I think it would be better to be more explicit, and simplify the example a bit so that it's not as distracting. + Note that in Python 3, ``unicode`` and ``basestring`` no longer exist + (there is only ``str``) and a bytes object is no longer a kind of + string (it is a sequence of integers instead) Is there any specific reason to use "sequence of integers" instead of "sequence of bytes"? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18472> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
