ValueError = Inappropriate argument value (of correct type). TypeError = Inappropriate argument type. > Currently, a ValueError raised, but this may be bad for index and > rindex, as they raise a ValueError when the substring or byte is not found. Then the users should check if the value is in range(256) before passing it to (r)index. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12170> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
