I'm against asserts for such use, since they get disabled in non-debug mode (which is the mode 99.99% of users run in). As for SystemError, it means "Internal error in the Python interpreter", which isn't the case here (most likely it's an error in an extension module instead, possibly a third-party one). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11286> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
