I am not sure about the new name. "re" is an abbreviation, so if include it in the exception name it should be "RE". I am not sure what name is better: RECompileError, REParseError, RESyntaxError, REError, CompileError, ParseError, SyntaxError or Error. json raises JSONDecodeError, ElementTree raises ParseError, other xml modules raise ExpatError, csv raises Error, configparser raises subclasses of Error. Many modules (at least 18: aifc, binhex, concurrent.futures, configparser, copy, cvs, ftplib, locale, mailbox, shutil, sqlite, sunau, test.support, uu, wave, webbrowser, xdrlib, xmlrpc.client) have an exception named just Error for module-specific errors. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38981> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
