Package: python-brlapi
Version: 4.1-4
Severity: important
Description of the problem:
>ipython
In [1]:import brlapi
In [2]:b=brlapi.Connection()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ConnectionError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/oaubert/src/advene/<ipython console> in <module>()
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/brlapi.so in brlapi.Connection.__init__()
<type 'str'>: (<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>,
AttributeError("'ConnectionError' object has no attribute 'exception'",))
Analysis: ConnectionError inherits from OperationError. OperationError.__init__
is rightly called from ConnectionError.__init__. In OperationError.__init__, if
c_brlapi.brlapi_protocolException() returns null, no self.exception attribute
is defined, but it is checked against in __str__ (which is implicitly called
when displaying the exception).
Proposed patch-idea:
modify the self.exception check in __str__ this way:
if hasattr(self, 'exception'):
return self.exception
