Hello,
I was reading the thread on try/except overhead and decided to try Alex's
examples but they kept generating exceptions. So I went to the docs and
tried the examples there (copied and pasted) with the same results (Win2k,
Python 2.4). Any help is appreciated. The output follows:
#1
C:\Python24\Lib>timeit.py 'if hasattr(int, "__nonzero__"): pass'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python24\Lib\timeit.py", line 285, in ?
sys.exit(main())
File "C:\Python24\Lib\timeit.py", line 249, in main
t = Timer(stmt, setup, timer)
File "C:\Python24\Lib\timeit.py", line 116, in __init__
code = compile(src, dummy_src_name, "exec")
File "<timeit-src>", line 6

Thanks again,
