[issue7711] csv error name incorrect

[Skip Montanaro]

Skip Montanaro <skip at pobox.com> added the comment:

This is to be expected.  The Error Exception is actually defined in the
underlying _csv extension module.  The higher level csv Python module
imports it.  The two are the same object:

>>> import csv, _csv
>>> csv.Error
<class _csv.Error at 0x818517c>
>>> _csv.Error
<class _csv.Error at 0x818517c>
>>> csv.Error is _csv.Error
True

So, continue to use

    try:
       ...
    except csv.Error:
       ...

and ignore the leading underscore.
