Hi -
The answer to this is probably so trivial that i'll kick myself for
asking... ;-)
i'm trying to use the sys.exit() function inside an error trap block and
the interpreter keeps telling me there's a syntax error e.g.
import sys
try:
open(file)
except: IOError
print 'blah'
print 'blah'
sys.exit()
python doesn't like this... and says there's a syntax error at the
sys.exit() line
however, when i dedent the sys.exit() call outside the except: block, it
runs just fine, (except for the fact that it shuts the whole thing down ;-)
What am i missing here?
I'm using Komodo 2.5 IDE and python 2.2.3
TIA
Jerry
