Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: I think it would be sufficient to add ' if no exceptions are raised' to the first sentence. The example that follows in the entry clarifies the implications of cheap to try, expensive to catch. -- keywords: +patch nosy: +terry.reedy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14306 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Tshepang Lekhonkhobe tshep...@gmail.com: In Doc/faq/design.rst, we got this text: A try/except block is extremely efficient. Actually catching an exception is expensive. The 2 sentences appear contradictory. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 155798 nosy: docs@python, tshepang priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: try/except block is both efficient and expensive? ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14306 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ezio Melotti ezio.melo...@gmail.com added the comment: What it's trying to say is that in case the operation in the try block succeeds there's almost no overhead, so it's very efficient. On the other hand, raising and then catching the error is expensive. -- nosy: +ezio.melotti ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14306 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
