The purpose of this tutorial section is to document how to catch all types of exceptions and extract the type and value. When this is required, `BaseException as err:` is the preferred approach. This document still mentions the alternative approach so that readers will know what it means when they encounter it, and know to upgrade it to the py2.4+ syntax ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41576> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
