In Java, it mainly feels like syntactic salt. There's still a class of RuntimeExceptions that aren't listed in the signature, so you still have to concern yourself with the possibility that unexpected exceptions will propagate; and you're forced to decorate every method with the list of what it might propagate up, other than that. It's like const-decorating a series of functions in C++, only far less consequential and requiring far more typing. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
