Nick Coghlan added the comment: I didn't choose suppress on a whim. I actually agree with Raymond that ignore reads better when the context manager is used correctly, but suppress is more consistent with the terminology used in the documentation (including even PEP 343), *and* I think it is slightly less vulnerable to people expecting it to mean "don't even raise the exception and continue with the next statement inside the with block" (aka the "on error resume next" misinterpretation).
I think suppress reads *well enough* for it to be worth making the switch in order to gain those other benefits. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19266> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
