Summary: '-' character breaks exception handling
Initial Comment:
Catching a string based exception containing a '-'
character that was raised within a function call
cannot be explicitly caught. Example :
>>> def test() :
... raise 'Lock-Removed'
...
>>> try :
... test()
... except 'Lock-Removed' :
... print 'Caught it!'
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 2, in ?
File "<interactive input>", line 2, in test
Lock-Removed
>>> try :
... raise 'Lock-Removed'
... except 'Lock-Removed' :
... print 'Caught it!'
...
Caught it!
