Skip Montanaro <s...@pobox.com> added the comment: This is to be expected. The Error Exception is actually defined in the underlying _csv extension module. The higher level csv Python module imports it. The two are the same object:
>>> import csv, _csv >>> csv.Error <class _csv.Error at 0x818517c> >>> _csv.Error <class _csv.Error at 0x818517c> >>> csv.Error is _csv.Error True So, continue to use try: ... except csv.Error: ... and ignore the leading underscore. ---------- nosy: +skip.montanaro resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7711> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
