Hi all, Here is an extract from the dis module doc [1]
""" RAISE_VARARGS(argc) Raises an exception. argc indicates the number of parameters to the raise statement, ranging from 0 to 3. The handler will find the traceback as TOS2, the parameter as TOS1, and the exception as TOS. """ OTOH, looking at PEP 3109: """ In Python 3, the grammar for raise statements will change from [2] raise_stmt: 'raise' [test [',' test [',' test]]] to raise_stmt: 'raise' [test] """ So it seems that RAISE_VARARGS's argument can only be 0 or 1 in Python 3, whereas it could be up to 3 in Python 2. Can anyone confirm that this is the case? In this case, I guess the dis docs need to be updated.
