If I gather correctly, i guess in case of errors/exceptions in a class
function, you want to get the error string. One thing that comes
straight to my mind is, in such a case use a return statement in
functions with two arguments.
for example:
def foo(self, value):
try:
a.x = value
return True, ''
except ValueError: return False, 'Float conversion error: %s' %(value)
and when ever u call the function, check the first return value, It is
false then alert/print the error message.
HTH,
