Both of the above forms work fine here, as does using MySQLdb.OperationalError: ------------------------------------------------ >>> import MySQLdb >>> try: ... db = MySQLdb.connect(user='jeffrey', host='localhost') ... except MySQLdb.OperationalError: ... print 'caught' ... caught >>> import _mysql_exceptions >>> try: ... db = MySQLdb.connect(user='jeffrey', host='localhost') ... except _mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: ... print 'caught' ... caught >>> from _mysql_exceptions import OperationalError >>> try: ... db = MySQLdb.connect(user='jeffrey', host='localhost') ... except OperationalError: ... print 'caught' ... caught >>> MySQLdb.OperationalError is _mysql_exceptions.OperationalError True >>> MySQLdb.__version__ '1.2.2' ------------------------------------------------ Jeffrey -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
