try/exception - error block

[bruce]

Hi.

I have a long running process, it generates calls to a separate py
app. The py app appears to generate errors, as indicated in the
/var/log/messages file for the abrtd daemon.. The errors are
intermittent.

So, to quickly capture all possible exceptions/errors, I decided to
wrap the entire "main" block of the test py func in a try/exception
block.

This didn't work, as I'm not getting any output in the err file
generated in the exception block.

I'm posting the test code I'm using. Pointers/comments would be helpful/useful.

////////////////////
 the if that gets run is the fac1 logic which operates on the input
packet/data..
    elif (level=='collegeFaculty1'):
        #getClasses(url, college, termVal,termName,deptName,deptAbbrv)
      ret=getParseCollegeFacultyList1(url,content)
////////////////////

Thanks.
