I was reading the Python socket programming tutorial, and I found this except block in the program:
except socket.error, msg:
print 'Failed to create socket. Error code: ' + str(msg[0]) + ' , Error message : ' + msg[1]
sys.exit();
What exactly is "msg" referencing (I know it is referencing the error message); but what IS it and where does it pull it from?
Sorry if this question is worded poorly. I'm not certain what exactly I should be asking.
msg
is the actual exception object that is being caught. For example:
try:
x = Exception()
raise x
except Exception, msg:
assert x is msg
The modern way of writing that statement would be
except socket.error as msg
msg
is the explanation of the error !
This exception is raised for socket-related errors . The accompanying value is either a string telling what went wrong or a pair (errno, string) representing an error returned by a system call, similar to the value accompanying os.error . See the module errno , which contains names for the error codes defined by the underlying operating system.
