I have a general question of Python style, or perhaps just good programming practice.
My group is developing a medium-sized library of general-purpose Python functions, some of which do I/O. Therefore it is possible for many of the library functions to raise IOError Exceptions. The question is: should the library function be able to just dump to sys.exit() with a message about the error (like "couldn't open this file"), or should the exception propagate to the calling program which handles the issue? Thanks in advance for anyone who can either answer my question or point me to where this question has already been answered. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
