Nick Coghlan added the comment: I'd just write it with @contextmanager. Making it easier to cleanly factor out exception handling is one of the main reasons that exists.
@contextmanager def ignored(*exceptions): """Context manager to ignore particular exceptions""" try: yield except exceptions: pass While the class based version would likely be fractionally faster, the generator based version is more obviously correct. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15806> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
