Yeah, that is the dubious part.<br>
<br>
You can't even convince python-dev that saving 2 lines to ignore an
exception in one line of code is a good idea, at the cost of the
potential for misunderstanding and misuse; I can't conceive of how
verbose the documentation would have to be to explain it to people
that don't know python well... especially to the cut-n-pasters that
don't read the documentation anyway (in some sense they don't
matter, until they discover the bug, and then try to read the
documentation).<br>
<br>
I suspect that there is no logic that will quiet down this thread
with the current implementation and decision, now that it has been
exposed for what it is ... maybe the only way would be to appeal to
Guido to proclaim that this thread should stop.<br>
<br>
Of course, if the name were changed to be accurate, or the feature
made less prone to misuse, then maybe it would terminate.<br>
<br>
I've got an extra can of "break_out_if" paint here...<br>
