Not “worse” as in more common, or more dangerous (I don’t know if that’s true or not), but as in harder to work around. for…else being confusing and effectively “experts only” just means most people don’t get to save a line of code and an extra variable—not ideal, but not a huge problem. with…except being confusing and effectively “experts only” means that most people are unable to write correct exception-handling code. So if this kind of code really is a serious problem, then the proposal doesn’t solve it; we need a proposal everyone will be able to learn and use. (And if it’s not a serious problem, then the proposal isn’t needed in the first place.) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/N2JJELTRH2BNMZTKMCSIHYS6RGVO4V3L/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
