It is a bit surprising (see below). But I think your solution is cleaner, anyway, in case somebody does something similar to the above while taking care to re-raise the right exception object. ------- $ cat a.py def foo(): raise Exception("foo") def bar(): raise Exception("bar") try: foo() except: print 'gotcha! (foo)' try: bar() except: print 'gotcha! (bar)' pass print 're-raising:' raise $ python a.py gotcha! (foo) gotcha! (bar) re-raising: Traceback (most recent call last): File "a.py", line 12, in <module> bar() File "a.py", line 5, in bar raise Exception("bar") Exception: bar $ -- Eduardo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
