try: foo() except: printorlogexceptioninawaythatismeaningful() raise doesn't seem to be incorrect to me. For example, if the program is a daemon, I want the exception logged somewhere so that I can see it later, because I won't be watching stderr.

  1. If the exception raised is a MemoryError, your daemon is in trouble.

  2. I said warn, and it'd be easy to suppress the warning using 'except Exception:', if that's what you really mean

  3. But I suppose this could be considered a job for pychecker.
