Ezio was -1 on the tracker, and Eric Smith was -0. I'd like to add my -1 too. This is a useless addition (the traditional idiom is perfectly obvious) and makes reading foreign code more tedious by adding superfluous API calls. Please consider reverting. There is absolutely zero use case for this that wasn't already solved by the traditional "except ...: pass" idiom.
I'm +0; I think it's a nice little addition that could be useful, but I don't care enough to wait for 3.4 to delete similar code in a my own programs.
To bikeshed though: why was ignored changed to ignore? The former reads
better to me, and I don't think that particular change was discussed at all
in the tracker afaict.
