Tt does break existing properly written python code (and is very non- pythonesque). Think:
try: target = request.args[0] except: response.flash = 'No target specified' return do_something(target) If this is an issue for people, I think they should improve their python skills (learn exceptions, for arg in request.args constructs), and not fight the language by framework-specific workarounds. They will benefit from it much more on the long run (as they are bound to have the same IndexError or KeyError problem anyway, just someplace else). My 0.02c.
