[Ironpython-users] Exception handling in VS 2008

[Cash]

Hi,



I'm getting issues with try / except blocks in VS 2008, particularly with
the following way of catching the errors:



try:

    something

except Error as e:

    do something with e





When I try this directly from the IPY console it works fine:



>>> try:
...         open(fakefile.txt)
...     except NameError as e:
...         print 'E is: ' + `e`
...
E is: NameError("name 'fakefile' is not defined",)



When entering the same code into Visual Studio 2008, it doesn’t like the
syntax at all and highlights the 'as e' part as a syntax error.



Has anyone seen this before and know a way around it at all please? As it
works in the IPY console and is valid Python, I'm presuming it is a bug
within VS?



Thanks,



B
