Re: Raising a specific OSError

[David Hirschfield]

I wasn't clear enough in my original post. I know how to raise a basic OSError or IOError, but what if I want to raise specifically an "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory"? Somehow it must be possible to raise the error with the correct information to bring up the standard message, but where do I find the right values to give? Thanks, -Dave alisonken1 wrote: To raise a specific error, just find the error that you want to raise, then give the error a text string to print: ex. raise IOError("This raises an IO error") On the stderr output, when the routine hits this line, you will get: raise IOError("This raises an IOError") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? IOError: This raises an IOError Just be sure of the error that you want to raise, since some of them will do stuff like closing open file descriptors as well. -- Presenting: mediocre nebula.
