New submission from Peibolvig: At point 9.8 of the 3.4.1 version documentation, ( https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#exceptions-are-classes-too ), there is an example of two ways to use the 'raise' statement: raise Class raise Instance
The next two lines, state: "In the first form, Class must be an instance of type or of a class derived from it. The first form is a shorthand for: raise Class()" That only says something about the first form twice. I think that the correct way would be: "In the first form, Class must be an instance of type or of a class derived from it. The SECOND form is a shorthand for: raise Class()" ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 221511 nosy: Peibolvig, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Error in documentation of point 9.8 'Exceptions are classes too' versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21864> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
