But that is true of all exceptions. The alternative seems to be a "checked exception" scheme like Java's, which in practice imposes a huge pain on programmers, who have to modify type signatures all up and down the call hierarchy every time they raise another exception at the bottom level. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
