[New-bugs-announce] [issue6079] SyntaxError in xmlrpc.client Fault example

[Thijs Triemstra]

New submission from Thijs Triemstra <lists at collab.nl>:

The example is defined as:

import xmlrpc.client

proxy = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy("http://localhost:8000/")
try:
    proxy.add(2, 5)
except xmlrpc.client.Fault, err:
    print("A fault occurred")
    print("Fault code: %d" % err.faultCode)
    print("Fault string: %s" % err.faultString)

Which throws the following error:

  File "test.py", line 6
    except xmlrpc.client.Fault, err:
                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I think it should be defined instead as:

import xmlrpc.client

proxy = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy("http://localhost:8000/")
try:
    proxy.add(2, 5)
except xmlrpc.client.Fault as err:
    print("A fault occurred")
    print("Fault code: %d" % err.faultCode)
    print("Fault string: %s" % err.faultString)
