Hi all, I am trying to learn exceptions and have few small doubts from http://docs.python.org/tutorial/errors.html There are many statements there of the form,
... except Exception as inst: do something ... except ZeroDivisionError as detail: do something ... except MyError as e: do something My questions are, what are these "inst", "detail", "e" etc. Are they special words? what does the word "as" do? Thanks a lot in advance. With warm regards, -Payal -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
