Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Adding "or got deleted" makes the error message longer, and since "del" is rarely used for deleting local variables I afraid that it can add confusion in most cases.
The "del" statement is not the only way to unset the local variable. >>> def foo(): ... e = None ... try: ... 1/0 ... except Exception as e: ... pass ... print(e) ... >>> foo() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<stdin>", line 7, in foo UnboundLocalError: local variable 'e' referenced before assignment ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29593> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
