Martin: I was also thinking of adding a parameter to `extract()`. The issue I see is that it's still confusing and complicated for new students to understand the issue and find the parameter and understand why it's needed. Joe: one important thing to note is that if an exception is caught and handled, it doesn't at all mean that unrelated exceptions from __repr__ can be silenced. Can we determine if they came from an initialized object or from object in the middle of initialization? By the way, can you post a complete traceback that your students were getting? I would like to see how hard it is to tell from the traceback that a particular classes' __repr__ is at fault. If it's a long traceback please attach as a file.. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43656> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
