Terry J. Reedy added the comment: This is definitely a duplicate of #16261 and should be closed at such.
On that issue, in msg202448, I explained that #15313 is about except: in idlelib and idlelib must be patched separately for the reason Raymond repeated (point 2). The other reason (point 1) is to keep different versions the same as much as possible. I agree that bare excepts should eventually be replaced -- but on a case by case basis to the right specific exception. A bare except is easy to grep for. Once converted to something else, it is no longer visible as needing attention. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21259> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
