Python exception handling and raising

Question

let's say I have the following 3 scripts:

script1.py
script2.py
script3.py

Lets say I get a traceback like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "script1.py", line xyz, in ...
...
File "script2.py", line xyz, in ...
...
File "script3.py", line xyz, in ...
...
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'CoolAttribute'

I have several different exceptions that occur in script3.py. Is there a way to handle ANY of these exceptions in line xyz in script1.py without handling the exceptions in script2.py? I just want to handle the exceptions that stem from script3.py in one line in script1.py.

Answer 1

One simple dirty way to do it is wrap you simple3.py with try except close and raise custom exception on any script3 exceptions.

class BaseSimpleError(Exception):
    """dummy class for all Simple3 errors"""

try:
    ...your simple3.py goes here...
except Exception, e:
    raise BaseSimpleError()

In script1 you should import BaseSimpleError and catch it when required.
