The RuntimeError documentation has a strange sentence embedded in it: """This exception is mostly a relic from a previous version of the interpreter; it is not used very much any more""" http://docs.python.org/dev/library/exceptions.html#RuntimeError That's quite wrong. RuntimeError may not be raised inside the interpreter core, but it's raised by a bunch of stdlib modules. |

So maybe it can just be removed? |

The mention was already there in 1994 (2ec96140a36b), under the following form: +\begin{excdesc}{RuntimeError} + Raised when an error is detected that doesn't fall in any of the + other categories. The associated value is a string indicating what + precisely went wrong. (This exception is a relic from a previous + version of the interpreter; it is not used any more except by some + extension modules that haven't been converted to define their own + exceptions yet.) +\end{excdesc} It was changed slightly from being "a relic" to "mostly a relic" in 1997 (238a8b6096e1): \begin{excdesc}{RuntimeError} Raised when an error is detected that doesn't fall in any of the other categories. The associated value is a string indicating what - precisely went wrong. (This exception is a relic from a previous - version of the interpreter; it is not used any more except by some - extension modules that haven't been converted to define their own - exceptions yet.) + precisely went wrong. (This exception is mostly a relic from a + previous version of the interpreter; it is not used very much any + more.) \end{excdesc} |
