I like much of this PEP, but the exception type for this case seems odd to me. Wouldn't a TypeError be more appropriate here? Somewhat like this: >>> 'a' - 'b' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'str' Cheers, Dirkjan _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
