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:

I meant that it works for the vast majority of all cases you see in practice. I haven't seen a non-Exception based exception in years.

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
