Hi Tim,
According to the bottom of:
http://www.python.org/doc/lib/csv-contents.html
you should be able to check for csv.Error.
"""The csv module defines the following exception:
exception Error
Raised by any of the functions when an error is detected."""
Here's what it looks like:
######
>>> import csv
>>> csv.Error
<class _csv.Error at 0x81b4f8c>
######
So internally, csv.Error is the thing you've been seeing, but from the
API, you should try to ignore that particular internal implementation
detail, and just use csv.Error instead.
Best of wishes!
