Subject: Python 2.0 is not supposed to use string exceptions in the standard library
X-Git-Tag: v2.0b1~1043
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=589c35bcc7ee2448507cedf303e3b72ede34b6ce;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Python 2.0 is not supposed to use string exceptions in the standard library
& extensions, so create exceptions in extension modules using the
PyErr_NewException() API.
