Martin Panter added the comment: “Associated value” still seems a bit weird. I wonder if it would be clearer to say
The exception type is stored in a static global variable . . . A second global variable stores the exception instance passed to :keyword:`raise` . . . Also further down that section it looks like there are other problems. “Exception object” is perhaps actually a C object referencing the exception class (type). ‘Python string object . . . stored as the "associated value" ’ should perhaps be the exception instance (object). I think a long time ago Python may have actually worked this way, but not any more, and the whole section probably needs updating. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25381> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
