[IronPython] catching WebException from OpenReadAsync

[Benjamin West]

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

$ cat webclient.py
import clr
import System
from System import Uri
from System.Net import WebClient, WebException


class Foo:
        def __init__(self, uri):
                self.setup(uri)

        def setup(self, uri):
                self.uri = Uri(uri)
                self.wc = WebClient()
                self.wc.OpenReadCompleted += self.asyncReader
                try:
                        self.wc.OpenReadAsync(self.uri)
                        print "fetching.... please wait."
                except (Exception, WebException), e: print "got
exception: %s" % e

        def asyncReader(self, sender, args):
                stream = args.Result
                try:
                        print str(stream)
                        print "Success."
                except (Exception, WebException), e: print "got
exception: %s" % e
