Hi I'm new to Python and would like to know if the following is possible.
Say I have one lower-level object A and one user-interface object B. Suppose B.CallingMethod() calls A.CalledMethod(), the latter method stumbles upon an IO error and raises an exception. The calling method detects the exception, but needs to get input from the user before deciding whether A.CalledMethod() should continue being executed or permantently stop/cancel the execution of the remaining code in A.CalledMethod(). Can this be done? What I would like to know is if the calling method is allowed to "decide" (at run-time) whether or not the execution of the called method resumes. Until now I only see two possibilities: either the caller is coded in a way that it handles the exception and execution of the called method resumes at the point where the exception was raised or the caller was written in a way that doesn't handle it and the program is stopped by the interpreter. Is there a third way, ie is it possible to determine at run-time whether the called method is resumed? Thanks in advance, Mack Stevenson -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
