Florian Bruhin added the comment: I didn't test the patch (I don't have the toolchain set up to do so), but it looks like this is indeed an exception which makes more sense to the developer.
When I saw the exception as it is now, I only discovered it's related to stderr being None by finding people having a similiar issue with curses, and with the new exception it'd be clear to me what happened. I personally would prefer failing silently though so the application still runs (if there's no stderr, there just is no fault log), but that's debatable of course. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21497> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
