Almost. The callingmethode code above behaves like:
def callingmethode(self):
mymethod()
except that your code hides the traceback information.
If you need to do something locally (other than passing
along the exception), use either:
def callingmethode(self):
try:
mymethod()
finally:
cleanup_stuff()
or (if you have some exception-specific code to do):
def callingmethode(self):
try:
mymethod()
except MyError,myerr:
stuff_only_for_exceptional_cases()
raise # Note that this keeps the original traceback.
