Eric and Paul, I've attached a substantial rewrite of the docs for the *type* parameter: * Document the exceptions that are handled. * Show a wider range of examples that work with *type*. * Discuss when *type* shouldn't be used: bool, JSONDecoder, etc. * Create a less whimsical example of a user-defined type converter. * Explain the interaction between *type* and *default*. Let me know what you think. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42572> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
