Hi Guys, Following piece of code can capture IOError when the file doesn't exist, also, other unknown exceptions can be captured when I press Ctrl-C while the program is sleeping(time.sleep). Now the question is: when I run the non-exist command, the exception cannot be captured.
Here is the code: =================================== #!/usr/bin/python import os import sys import time try: fh = open("tt.py") time.sleep(10) #os.system("wrong_command_test") except IOError: print 'failed to open.' sys.exit(0) except: print 'Some exceptions occurred.' else: print 'well', print 'Done' =================================== when the tt.py doesn't exist, the script printed: failed to open. when the tt.py exists, the script printed: well done when I press Ctrl-C while the program is sleeping, the script printed: Some exceptions occurred. Done So far so good, then I changed the code to run a non-exist command "wrong_command_test"(commented the open and sleep lines), then the script printed: sh: wrong_command_test: command not found well Done Any opinions would be appreciated.
