Thanks.
Raymond, based on your other message, I kicked that issue in your direction.
Cheers,

If you want this changed, I can use a negative return
value for other than an attribute error, and modify
the calling code to handle the exception.
To me this isn't worth making the code slower and
more complex. But I can also see wanting to catch
a SystemError at any possible step.
It has the

_PyObject_LengthHint() is specified to never fail.
If any exception occurs along the way, it returns a
default value. In the context of checking for length
hints from an iterator, this seems reasonable to me.

There seems to be an unconditional PyErr_Clear() in
_PyObject_LengthHint(). I think that could and should be much more
careful; it probably should only ignore AttributeErrors (though there
may be unittests to the contrary).

We had a bug reported that effectively boils down to we’re not swallowing
exceptions when list calls __len__
(http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&WorkItemId=20598).
We can obviously make the change to catch exceptions here in IronPython even if
it seems like a bad
