[Tutor] Trying a csv error

[Tim Johnson]

Hello:
I'm using the csv module, and resources are imported as in
import csv

My exception trapping uses
etype, value, tb = sys.exc_info()
and I'm getting the following
value = "newline inside string"
type = "_csv.Error"

I would like to proceed with the assumption for now that this
error should not abort processing.

The relevant code snippet is as follows:
while(1):
    try:
        reader.next() ## csv object method
    except StopIteration:
        break
I'd like to do the following
while(1):
    try:
        reader.next() ## csv object method
    except cvs._csv.Error:  ## or something like this
        print "bad csv record, skipping ...."
        continue
    except StopIteration:
        break

The problem is that python does not recognize the
error objects and gives me:
"'module' object has no attribute '_csv'".

Any ideas on how to trap this error?
  
Thanks
tim
