--------------------------------------
Assignee: Michael A. Smith
> 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
> Assignee: Michael A. Smith
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.*}}.
