Python exceptions: is there a way to find the exception attributes?

[Pierre Rouleau]

Of course, there is a simpler way to quickly get the list of attributes, as Terry Hancock suggested 
in a posting below.
Just create an instance of the exception and dir() on it.

 >>> import exceptions
 >>> dir(IOError())
['__doc__', '__getitem__', '__init__', '__module__', '__str__', 'args', 'errno', 'filename', 'strerror']
 >>> dir(UnicodeError())
['__doc__', '__getitem__', '__init__', '__module__', '__str__', 'args']
 >>>

I must still be in the C and C++ way of thinking...

Thanks!

Pierre
