I am having a bit on an issue getting my program to work. The online
database which I am trying to contact keep timing out meaning I can
not carry out my 200 searches without being interupted.
I believe that the solution would be to include an exception handler
with a timer delay if this error occurs so wait a bit then carry on
however having spent hours looking at this I can not get my head
around how to do such a thing.
Exactly. How to handle
exceptions:http://docs.python.org/tutorial/errors.html
Use time.sleep() to wait for some
time:http://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.sleep
Thanks for that I will give it a read.
Do I need to know what error I am getting?
Usually it's best to be as specific as possible.
IDLE is giving me this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\test6.py", line
13, in <module>
res = srch.parse_results()
File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\yahoo\search
\__init__.py", line 765, in parse_results
xml = self.get_results()
File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\yahoo\search
\__init__.py", line 738, in get_results
stream = self.open()
File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\yahoo\search
\__init__.py", line 723, in open
raise SearchError(err)
SearchError: service temporarily unavailable [C:28]
That means that, in line 13 of test6.py [first line in the stack trace],
after several function calls [intermediate lines in the stack trace]
leading to function open in the search package [last line of the stack
trace], a SearchError exception was raised.
If you want to catch that exception:
try:
... some code ...
except SearchError:
... code to handle the exception ...
How to "spell" exactly the exception name should appear in the
documentation; might be yahoo.SearchError, or yahoo.search.SearchError, or
yahoo.errors.SearchError, or similar.
I have been trying except SearchError: however I get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\timeDelay.py",
line 19, in <module>
except SearchError:
NameError: name 'SearchError' is not defined
I have searched all documents for terms along the lines of searcherror
but am finding nothing..
Any ideas?
It's defined in the module you imported to get the search functionality.
