Maybe people would have responded better if I put more thought into that... 100 is an arbitrary number of course. I gave a few specific examples of UnpackingUnderflowError and MissingArgumentsError, and if I spent 30 minutes on it I could probably come up with 10 more examples. The point isn't the specific example, but to advocate for a general strategy of breaking down exception to as many classes as possible, instead of having this fight over and over again on each exception. > This is an idea I could get behind: > > > https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/MXPCNEAWXWJPOHB3DC3QW3S3ZPOFSM4Q/ Alex sent me that, I'm happy to see it :)
