Subject: Bug#143159: python-pygresql: pygresql raises the wrong exception type
Date: 16 Apr 2002 11:41:05 -0500
Package: python-pygresql
Version: 7.2.1-2
Severity: normal
I have just discovered that pygresql raises the wrong exception type
in some circumstances. All exceptions are supposed to be a subclass
of pgdb.Error. If postmaster is not running on the host, this example
shows that pygresql raises an exception whose type is '_pg.error' (a
string).

#!/usr/bin/python2.1
import sys
import pgdb
try : conn = pgdb.connect( host="localhost" )
except pgdb.Error : print "Correct"
except : print "Wrong!" print type( sys.exc_info()[0] ) sys.stdout.write( sys.exc_info()[1] )

Wrong!
<type 'string'>
could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host localhost and accepting TCP/IP
connectionson port 5432?
