That's funny, I code a lot of python but I don't participate in any large projects where a pipeline might fail due to this. So I don't follow the PEP news much.

That's funny, I code a lot of python but I don't participate in any large projects where a pipeline might fail due to this. So I don't follow the PEP news much. And yet I have created my own habit of not using bare excepts. TIL what bare except even means, but I do not use them. Simply because I think it makes more sense to specify the exception I want to catch, and failing that I specify the base class Exception. So I guess I understand the author of this PEP, we're of one mind on this. :) Also thanks to this post TIL that a bare except might catch interrupts like ctrl-c. Even more justification for my new habit.
