Thanks Chris for clarifying Dennis point of view , >> try: >> if not run_cmd_and_verify(cmd, timeout=3600): > > Since your version of rcav() always trapped exceptions internally, > this > call will never raise an exception, so using a try: block is meaningless >> return False > > And your conditional basically comes down to: > > if False: > return False: What would be the alternative for try expect in the FOR loop section of the program , will this work fine i.e expect with pass , or any better alternative for this ?
