Martin Panter added the comment: If I remove the value == 'None' check, there are two failures in the test suite:
1. test_decimal fails, but only because the test was changed in revision 5f3dd0a2b1ab to accommodate the very bug I am complaining about. IMO this was a case of “fixing” the test instead of fixing the bug, so it is okay to restore the test. 2. The following test, added in revision ecaafc32c500: def test_without_exception(self): err = traceback.format_exception_only(None, None) self.assertEqual(err, ['None\n']) It was apparently added so that print_exc() would output “None” when called with no exception set. This is the case for Python 2. However in the Python 3 versions I have tried, print_exc() either raises AttributeError or prints “NoneType”. In any case, the test does not seem to be testing anything valid according to the documentation, so I propose to remove it. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +rbcollins stage: -> patch review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43577/none-message.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27348> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
