try except bug

[ÀÌ°­¼º]

I think there is a bug in try-except clause.
If you use 'raise' with a string type exception and class instance, that's 
OK. But, when you 'raise' with a class type exception and class instance, it 
works in a strange way. Look at the following code.

class MessageClass:
    def __init__(self):
        self.message = 'message'
        self.duration = 10

def f():
    raise Exception, MessageClass()

def g():
    raise 'Exception', MessageClass()

try:
    g()
except 'Exception', a:
    print a, type(a)
    print a.duration   # This one works fine

try:
    f()
except Exception, a:
    print a, type(a)
    print a.duration   # This one doesn't work.



The result is ------------

<__main__.MessageClass instance at 0x007E9870> <type 'instance'>
10
<__main__.MessageClass instance at 0x007E8E10> <type 'instance'>
Traceback (innermost last)
  File "Untitled", line 22, in ?
    print a.duration
AttributeError: Exception instance has no attribute 'duration'

I'm using Python 2.2.2
Do you have any idea about this?
