You mean they should be detected when the exception is set? I was afraid that it may make exception raising slower. Reporting is not performance sensitive in comparison to exception raising. (the "problem mentioned here" is already avoided in the patch, but the detection of other cycles is deferred to exception reporting for the reason given above) > * PyErr_Display is used by PyErr_Print, and it must end up with no > active exception.

I was not proposing to change the exception swallowing semantics, just to add a return value indicating if any errors had occurred while displaying the exception. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3112> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
