Hi Andy,
Putting a try:/except: loop in your __main__() (or whatever you call
your base function) with sys.exit("Message") is pretty much the way I
always do it.
try:
gak = puke + die
except:
sys.exit("Oy!")
If you would like sys.exit() to provide you with a bit more
information (like what actually happened during the failure and
where!) I found this handy function:
def formatExceptionInfo(maxTBlevel=5):
cla, exc, trbk = sys.exc_info()
excName = cla.__name__
try:
excArgs = exc.__dict__["args"]
except KeyError:
excArgs = "<no args>"
excArgsString = ''
for item in excArgs:
excArgsString = excArgsString + ' ' + str(item)
excTb = traceback.format_tb(trbk, maxTBlevel)
excTbString = ''
for item in excTb:
excTbString = excTbString + " " + str(item)
report = "%s %s %s"%(excName, excArgsString, excTbString)
return(report)
This function now goes in most of what I do that requires error reporting.
Hope this helps!
