New submission from Mark Dickinson: >From http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/exceptions.html:
"... programmers are encouraged to at least derive new exceptions from the Exception class and not BaseException." This wording had someone I've talked to recently thinking that user-defined exceptions should inherit *directly* from Exception. Suggested rewording, dropping the "at least" qualification that as far as I can tell serves no real purpose: "... programmers are encouraged to derive new exceptions from the Exception class or one of its subclasses, and not from BaseException." ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 211214 nosy: docs@python, mark.dickinson priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify recommendation to inherit from Exception versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20624> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
