Nick Coghlan added the comment: This question came up again recently over in #27814, in the context of a proposal to add an "unless" parameter to contextlib.suppress(). I declined the RFE mainly on the basis of API complexity, but I also noted you can get something comparable in the current API by using virtual subclassing to say "If a subclass of these, but not of these": http://bugs.python.org/issue27814#msg273434
So the status quo is currently giving us a slightly odd discrepancy between normal except clauses and code that emulates them via issubclass() ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12029> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
