New submission from Gregor Titze <gregor.ti...@gmail.com>:
The Python Tutorial describes the first argument to the raise statement as follows: """ This must be either an exception instance or an exception class (a class that derives from Exception). """ https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/errors.html#raising-exceptions However, the Python Language Reference states, that exceptions should be a subclass or instance of BaseException. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#grammar-token-python-grammar-raise_stmt I think it would be correct, to adapt the Tutorial to match the Reference. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 409961 nosy: docs@python, gtitze priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [doc] First argument to raise can also be BaseException type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46291> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
