I'm translating a db from english to spanish with the Google
translator API. The problem is when a TranslationError occurs(usually
because of connection problems). I can
except the first one, but I don't know how to except again. I "solved"
the problem by saving temp db's and then joining them, but it must be
a pythonic way to do it.
Here's a snippet from the code:
english_field = oldDb[i].fieldData[0] #oldDb is a db filled
with english words
Is this actual code? I may be mistaken, but at least in Python 3.x it
seems there should be a comma between each 'with' expression. And
there should certainly be a colon at the end.
It's best to copy and paste real code.
Made-up code can just be misleading for those who'd like to help.
It looks to me like the line wrapped during posting, ie the 'with' part
belongs to the comment.

thx
What one gets from conditioning oneself to ignore comments in code.
try:
spanish_field = translate(english_field, lang_to='es',
lang_from='en')
except TranslationError:
spanish_field = translate(english_field, lang_to='es',
lang_from='en')
#Then I save the fields into a new db
Possibly I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but have you thought of
using a loop?
In other words:
for attempt in range(2):
try:
spanish_field = translate(english_field, lang_to='es',
lang_from='en')
break
except TranslationError:
pass
else:
# Didn't break out of the loop, therefore not successful.
print "Translation failed"
