I'm running the following WSGI app under Yaro:
def error(req):
try:
req.non_existent_key
except:
try:
return cgitb.html(sys.exc_info())
except:
return 'foo'
The result of running this is 'foo'. In other words, the reference to
the non-existent key generates an exception as expected, but then the
generation of the traceback generates ANOTHER exception, which I would
not have expected. If I add another TRY/EXCEPT block to capture this
exception, the result is attached at the bottom of this message.
It gets better.
I get the same result whether I run under Apache/mod_wsgi or standalone
using wsgi_ref. But if I add the following code to try to capture a
Yaro request object so I can noodle around with it:
def error(req):
global req1
req1=req
try: ...
it makes the problem go away! But it ONLY makes the problem go away
when running under wsgi_ref, not under Apache!
The problem seems to be specific to Yaro. If I make an instance of an
object and try to dereference a non-existent attribute, the initial
traceback gets generated with no problem. Also, the Yaro code for
Request.__getattr__ ultimately calls req.__dict__[attr]. If I make this
call directly, the problem also goes away.
I am quite baffled by this. Any suggestions on how to debug this would
be much appreciated.
Thanks,

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of
function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.

The above is a description of an error in a Python program. Here is
the original traceback:
