If it doesn't want to lose data, it \*has\* to, because of the way it's
currently implemented. There is no other way (other than ignoring the
error) in Python 2.5.x and earlier.

My point is it will ignore this error, because the programmer didn't even know about the return value.
So it will possibly use data. But, it's all in the bug report and I'm only repeating myself.

I never debated that. I debated whether that is a "rather severe" issue,
which I still don't think it is.

I didn't recognize that we discussed this phrase. Sorry if I wasted your time.
