Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Why? Is there any known use case?
The IndexError exception is commonly used for control flow. Slowing down the instantiation to add an index that no one really needs would be a waste. This exception has been around for 20+ years -- if they were an actual need, we would have known by now. To my eyes, this appears to be gratuitous feature creep. ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger nosy: +rhettinger priority: normal -> low _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21911> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
