Hello All, Is this a bug? Why is this tuple getting unpacked by raise? Am I missing some subtle logic? Why does print not work the same way as raise? Both are statements. Why does raise need to be so special?
py> sometup = 1,2 py> print sometup (1, 2) py> print 1,2,3, sometup 1 2 3 (1, 2) py> class MyErr(Exception): ... def __init__(self, atup): ... Exception.__init__(self, "Error with %s-%s" % atup) ... py> raise MyErr, sometup Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given) py> e = MyErr(sometup) py> print e Error with 1-2 James -- James Stroud UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics and Proteomics Box 951570 Los Angeles, CA 90095 http://www.jamesstroud.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
