How to tell if an exception has been caught ( from inside the exception )?

[Paul Dale]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing an exception that will open a trouble ticket for certain 
events. Things like network failure. I thought I would like to have it 
only open a ticket if the exception is not caught. Is there a way to do 
this inside the Exception? As far as I can see there are only two events 
called on the exception, __init__ and __del__, both of which will be 
called wether or not an exception is caught (right?)

Am I missing something, or is there a way to do this with exceptions?

Thanks!

Paul
