Namely, that instances of built-in exceptions do not have a __module__ attribute, but instance of user exceptions do -- a change which appeared in Python 2.5:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2007-November/1088229.html I had a use case, using ZSI to provide a SOAP interface, where being able to get the __module__ and __name__ was needed (to serialize into a SOAP "fault" message). I worked around the issue by referencing the __class__ (as the other replier mentioned). But, I didn't receive any responses then, so I think not a lot of attention was put into these type of attributes on exceptions. -- Scott Dial sc...@scottdial.com scod...@cs.indiana.edu _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
