Hi all
For an exception defined as below
class OptionError(Exception):
def __init__(self, args):
self.args = args
def __str__(self):
return repr(self.v)
an iteration is happening when the exception is raised
Meanwhile for almost the same structured exception replacing the
attribute 'args' with say 'value' it is not a probs.
class OptionError(Exception):
def __init__(self, args):
self.value = args
def __str__(self):
return repr(self.value)
This was frustrating because for a st. OptionError('Error') for
exception 1 output will be
OptionError: ('E', 'r', 'r', 'o', 'r')
Meanwhile for exception 2 output will be
OptionError: 'Error'
which is desired..Why this behaviour?
Regards
Visco
