Hi, I have a general question regarding programming style which may or may not have an answer. Is it a better practice to have a function raise an exception on error, so that the error can be caught; or return a status code indicating that the function was unsuccessful?
Like I said, I don't expect an answer that works in general, but some guidelines about when one approach is more appropriate would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
