what exception is it?

[Maurice LING]

Hi,

I'm trapping exceptions with these codes...

try:
	[do something]
except IOError: [IO error handling]
except TypeError: [Type error handling]
except: [other error handling]

in [other error handling], one of the things I need to do is to display 
to the use the kind of exception raised and the message, if any.

How can I do this without a big if statement to go through the list of 
exceptions?

Thanks in advance.

Maurice
