--------------------------------------
Summary: Isolate Exception Classes to Simplify Import Graph
Key: AVRO-2893
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2893
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: python
Reporter: Michael A. Smith
Many of the python avro modules implement custom exceptions. Other modules
import those exceptions. Since imports cannot be cyclic, this means you can't
use, say, {{avro.schema.AvroException}} in {{avro.io}} and at the same time use
{{avro.io.BinaryDecoder}} in {{avro.schema}}.
I propose that exception classes should be moved into {{avro.errors}} and that
that module should strictly not import anything else from {{avro.*}}.
