Marco Sulla via Python-list: > Well, they are the most used languages.
They weren't when Python was created. Python's terms raise/except and self were normal for the time. C++ was the odd one out. throw/catch and this are Stroustrup's inventions, no other language used those terms. It was only later that language designers fell into the notion that it was crucial for a new language's success to look as much like C++ as possible. regards, Anders -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
