To me ...

try: ... except Exception, errobj: # catches all exceptions pass ... is the most natural way of using that single root (and it already works great today).

Well, uh, it's not totally bullet proof:

class C: pass ... [24618 refs] try: raise C ... except Exception, err: print err ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ? main.C: <__main__.C instance at 0x403a7814> [24654 refs]

but I this really doesn't seem to happen in the wild.

(I have a hacky patch which makes exceptions new-style which I'll post in a moment).

Cheers, mwh
