Exception-handling

[Odd-R.]

I have come over a strange problem regarding exceptions
This is my code:

try:
#some operation
except Exception, info:
#some message
except:
#??

When executing my code, I get to the last block here. This
I find rather strange, because I thought Exception would catch
all exceptions. But this is obviously not the case here.

What is this, and how can I get a hold of what causes the exception?

Thanks!

You can throw everything as an exception. I _think_ that is frowned upon
these days, but it is there so it will happen.

However, you can use

import sys

try:
raise "foo"
except:
print sys.exc_info()[1]


to get a hold on what's being caught by the exception handler.

Try this:

import sys

try:
pass # your code here
except:
e = sys.exc_value()

Either to catch everything, or to get a hold on e.
