Hi all,

The discussion on PEP 0424 seems to have subsided (and I haven't gotten angry emails in a week!). So I would like to request a BDFL or BDFP pronouncement on PEP 0424, text available here: http://hg.python.org/peps/file/tip/pep-0424.txt

"It may raise a TypeError if a 32 specific instance cannot have its length estimated."

-> what is the consumer supposed to do in this case? Propagate the error, or use a default value?

Regards

Antoine.
