Package: python-brlapi
Version: 3.10~r3724-1
Severity: important
Scenario:
>>> import brlapi
>>> b=brlapi.Connection()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/oaubert/<ipython console> in <module>()
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/brlapi.so in brlapi.Connection.__init__()
TypeError: raise: exception class must be a subclass of BaseException
Explanation:
When initializing brlapi with no brltty demon started, the API should raise an
Exception. But from python2.5 onwards, each exception class must be a subclass
of BaseException (cf http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0352/ )
Correction:
The error lies in the Bindings/Python/brlapi.pyx file, where the exception
ConnectionError inherits from OperationError, which itself should inherit from
BaseException. The following patch should fix this.

Hi.
Version 4.0-1 of brltty has just been uploaded to unstable
and should fix this bug as well. I just forgot to close it via
a changelog entry.
Thanks for reporting this.
