I'm trying to replace a built-in exception type and here's a simplified example of what I was hoping to do...
>>> >>> import exceptions, __builtin__ >>> >>> zeroDivisionError = exceptions.ZeroDivisionError >>> >>> class Foo(zeroDivisionError): ... bar = 'bar' ... >>> >>> exceptions.ZeroDivisionError = Foo >>> ZeroDivisionError = Foo >>> __builtin__.ZeroDivisionError = Foo >>> >>> try: ... raise ZeroDivisionError ... except ZeroDivisionError, e: ... print e.bar ... bar >>> >>> try: ... 1/0 ... except ZeroDivisionError, e: ... print e.bar ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 2, in ? ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero >>> Notice that I get my customized exception type when I explicitly raise ZeroDivisionError but not when that is implicitly raised by 1/0. It seems like I have to replace that exception type at some lower level, but I'm not sure how/where. Does anyone know of a way to do this? - Nishkar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
