I am using libturpial to post things on Twitter. But sometimes I get a
ServiceOverCapacity exception. So I wrote the following code.
======================================================================
class InitAlreadyDoneError(Exception):
pass
##### Functions
def init(max_tries = 5, wait_time = 60):
global _core
if _core != None:
raise InitAlreadyDoneError
tries = 0
while True:
try:
_core = Core()
break
except ServiceOverCapacity:
tries += 1
sys.stderr.write('Tried to init _core it {0} times\n'.format(tries))
sys.stderr.flush()
if tries >= max_tries:
raise
time.sleep(wait_time)
======================================================================
Is this the correct way to work user defined exceptions, or should I
also define a default message?
I use this in the following way:
import twitterDecebal
twitterDecebal.init()
Because you can not give parameters with an import as far as I can
see. Is this a good way to do this, or is there a better way?
