One of the things I learned with C# is that it's always better to handle any errors that might occur within the codes itself (i.e. using if statements, etc. to catch potential out of range indexing) rather than use too many try/catch statements, because there is some overhead every time the program encounters the try.
Is this the case at all with Python, in terms of extra work or slower speed? Or is try/except implemented differently in Python than it is in other languages, so that it runs just like any other code? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
