Hi, I like python because it is compatible to old versions. That's way I think string exceptions should not be deprecated.
I use string exceptions if the condition for an assertion is to complex: if foo and bar and i>10: raise "if foo and bar i must not be greater than 10" This way I can easily add "checkpoints" to my code. Is it too late to change this? Way not make this line raise "..." behave like this: raise Exception("...") in the future? I know that catching string exceptions and reading the string is different from Exception("..."). This could become deprecated. Please keep Python compatible to old versions.
