This doesn't make any difference in any other context, so why would it here? If only the above sentence is problematic, you can perhaps suggest another one. > Now, when another exception does actually occur, I'm all for the > nested traceback, but if I'm raising a different one, why is this > useful: To me that's the same as asking why the full call stack is useful. In some cases it is useful, in other cases it is distracting. Python displays comprehensive information by default. As I said, this can be tweaked using the traceback module. By the way, this is all described in detail in a PEP: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3134/ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6210> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
