Exceptional Condition

Tonight's PyGTA meeting was a round table discussion on handling Exceptional Conditions in Python. As expected from this group the discussion did tend to wander in the philosophical side of programming, but we did manage to raise more practical concerns as well. As an embedded systems developer the options for reporting exceptions are frequently limited by the user interface (or lack thereof), but it is interesting that even these limited choices are still a subset of the vastly greater array of tools available to web and desktop application developers.
