Yes, of course, catching + reraising an exception is costly. But when an exception is not raised, this is cheap. Usually len() is called for open database. > IMHO it is a bug fix, not a new feature, and could be applied in 3.3 and 3.4. Hmm. If consider dbm.dumb as separated module, this is perhaps a new feature. But if consider it as an implementation of the dbm protocol, it should conform to other dbm modules, and this is a bugfix. What would you say Nick? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19385> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
