Hello, I am new to Python.
I tried to hook my own ExceptionPrintingFunction sys.excepthook but it does not work. This is what I wrote: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- import sys def MyOwnExceptHook(typ, val, tb): print "Inside my own hook" sys.excepthook = MyOwnExceptHook x = 1/0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is what I get ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:/Home/Programming/Python/TryProjects/ExceptHandling1/Except5.py", line 8, in <module> x = 1/0 ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I never see "Inside my own hook" which tells me that the hook is not being called. What I really want to test is to stop the exception from propagating further and leave the program intact. What am I doing wrong? Please let me know if there are any other newbie groups that I should probably try in stead. Thanks Sami -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
