R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Thanks for the report and patch. However, in general we prefer not to mask exceptions (doing that can hide bugs in programs). It would probably be reasonable to fix this in pydoc, however.
Alternatively there might be a specific exception or set of exceptions that should indeed result in a False value. What exception is being raised? Can you provide a test case extracted from what pygame is doing that triggers the problem? ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray stage: -> test needed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14367> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
