I am writing a GUI program with tkinter. One function I have is:
def select_dir():
try:
directory = filedialog.askdirectory()
if directory == '':
messagebox.showinfo(info_str, canceled_report)
return
chdir(directory)
filepathArr = sorted(glob(regex))
if len(filepathArr) == 0:
messagebox.showwarning(warning_str, nofiles_str)
return
generate_report(filepathArr)
except:
messagebox.showerror(error_str, error_select_str)
raise
I use the raise to see what the exception was. That works, because
tkinter takes over again.
This works for me when I run it from the command-line, but it has to
become a stand-alone executable. Is there a way to find out what the
cause of the exception was, so I can put it in the error message?
