Re: [Jython-dev] Exception Handling difference between CPython and Jython

[Kevin D. <kda...@we...>]

We took a quick glance at CPython yesterday, and it didn't look like it was
doing anything special to handle this. The exception basically seemed to
just disappear. It would be a simple patch to just make the __nonzero__
function toss out any exception that occurs when searching the Python
classes for __nonzero__. But is that the "right" way?
