New submission from Dimitri Papadopoulos Orfanos <dimitri.papadopou...@cea.fr>:
The fnmatch documentation should explicitly mention the type of exceptions raised by fnmatch.fnmatch(): https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html In my case it raised sre_constants.error, and it took some time to understand that the proper way to catch this type of exceptions is to catch the re.error superclass, by reading https://bugs.python.org/issue795379. Actually that would be the case for any module using the re module under the hood, possibly passing an ill-formed regex to a re function. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib), Regular Expressions files: sre_constants.error_stderr.txt messages: 406396 nosy: DimitriPapadopoulosOrfanos, docs@python, ezio.melotti, mrabarnett priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document exceptions raised by fnmtach versions: Python 3.11 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file50442/sre_constants.error_stderr.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45815> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
