Hi
I try to regularly extract recent news from some newsgroups.
If News is an NNTP object I try
(Response,Articles)= News.xover(str(int(Last)+1),'10000000')
where 'Last' is the (previously saved) number of the last
article read.
If there are no new articles I get an Exception
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/jarausch/Python_My/News", line 36, in -toplevel-
(Response,Articles)= News.xover(str(int(Last)+1),'10000000')
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/nntplib.py", line 479, in xover
resp, lines = self.longcmd('XOVER ' + start + '-' + end, file)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/nntplib.py", line 265, in longcmd
return self.getlongresp(file)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/nntplib.py", line 236, in getlongresp
resp = self.getresp()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/nntplib.py", line 219, in getresp
raise NNTPTemporaryError(resp)
NNTPTemporaryError: 420 No such article
I would have expected to get an empty 'Response' or the value None
for 'Articles'.
What am I missing?
(This is Python 2.4.3)
Many thanks for a hint,
