There's two issues with this idea. One, backwards-compatibility, especially since the only good way to handle this would be to modify the exception-handling code to recognize this specific case during deprecation.
But two, this would be a semantic shift of what classes directly inherit from `BaseException`. If you look at https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#exception-hierarchy you will see that the only classes that inherit directly are ones that represent control flow. Adding `SystemError` to that list would make it a unique error condition that doesn't inherit from `Exception`. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/3VRHKHDIFO74Z6CLUX4G7VES6XJHLOTT/
