This change fixes two of the most potentially +problematic ones, since they are in error-reporting code, in the +`multiprocessing.managers.convert_to_error` function. (It also makes more +informative a ValueError message.) The only potentially problematic change +is that the AssertionError is now a TypeError; however, this should also +help distinguish it from an AssertionError being *reported* by the +function/its caller (such as in issue 31169). - Patch by Allen W. Smith +(drallensmith on github). |
