Deprecating string exceptions
March 27, 2002
4:57 p.m.
http://python.org/sf/518846 reports that new-style classes cannot be used as exceptions. I think it is desirable that this is fixed, but I also believe that it conflicts with string exceptions. So I would like to propose that string exceptions are deprecated for Python 2.3, in order to remove them in Python 2.4, simultaneously allowing arbitrary objects as exceptions. Regards, Martin
