Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Yup. It's unfortunate, but there's really nothing we can do about it - some protocols use exceptions, and if you raise an exception type that is part of the defined protocol as the result of a genuine error, then you're going to have a fun debugging exercise to deal with.
You'll often see a similar misdiagnosis with TypeError in conversion functions that try several different conversion techniques. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15435> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
