In my class I have
class Error(Exception ):
"""Base class for exceptions in this module."""
pass
class TransitionError (Error):
"""Raised when an operation attempts a state transition that's not
allowed.
Attributes:
previous -- state at beginning of transition
next -- attempted new state
message -- explanation of why the specific transition is not allowed
"""
def __init__(self, previous, next, message):
self.previous = previous
self.next = next
self.message = message
Also in my class I check to see if a transition is legal or not:
newstate = self.fsm[self.curr_state][self._ev]
if newstate == self.error_stat e:
raise TransitionError , self.curr_state , newstate, \
"Going to error state %d from state %d" % (self.curr_stat e, newstate)
self.curr_state = self.fsm[newstate][self._ev]
When I run it I get this:
884 ./t_fsm.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./t_fsm.py", line 3, in ?
from fsm import *
File "/home/boston/VIASAT/sorr/py/fsm/fsm.py", line 76
raise TransitionError , self.curr_state , newstate, "Going to error
state %d from state %d" % (self.curr_stat e, newstate)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
(The carat is really under the comma before "Going.)
I hate to bother people with syntax problems, but I have no idea what to
do. Sorry.
TIA :-(

Where did you see a tuple here ? You're code is *calling*
TransitionError , passing it the needed arguments.
Note that it's the correct syntax - but not the correct explanation !-)

Ok. Now I'm potentially confused:
1. TransitionError takes 4 args
2. raise takes a tuple with four elements after the exception argument as
its 2nd arg
I take it you mean #2?

fix:
should be:
raise TransitionError (self.curr_stat e, newstate, msg)
or
raise TransitionError , (self.curr_stat e, newstate, msg)
(snip)

Ok. Now I'm potentially confused:
1. TransitionError takes 4 args
Almost (cf fix above).
2. raise takes a tuple with four elements after the exception argument as
its 2nd arg
No.
I take it you mean #2?
No.
the raise statement syntax is:
"raise" [typeOrInstance ["," value ["," traceback]]]
Most exceptions only take a single value (the error message), and it's
very uncommon (at least in application code) to substitute another
traceback.
Now back to the "value" part. If your exception type expects more than
one arg, it's legal to use a tuple for the value(s). It will then be
passed to the exception type (using *args expansion). It's legal, but it
doesn't make the code much more readable. It's IMHO better to
explicitely instanciate the exception with the needed params. Which of
these two lines do you find the most readable ?
raise TransitionError (self.curr_stat e, newstate, msg)
vs
raise TransitionError , (self.curr_stat e, newstate, msg)

Where did you see a tuple here ? You're code is *calling*
TransitionErro r, passing it the needed arguments.

Thanks for setting me straight. I had (wrongly) thought that the stuff
inside of () was a tuple.

For the record, it's the ',' that makes the tuple. The () are (in
this context) the call operator.

For the further record, in the context of a function call, the ','
isn't making a tuple. It's separating the arguments to the function.

I am wondering if there are some best practices for determining a strategy
for using try/catch blocks within an application.
My current thoughts are:
1. The code the initiates any high-level user tasks should always be
included in a try/catch block that actually handles any exceptions that
occur (log the exception, display a message box, etc.).
2. Low-level operations that are used to carry out the high level tasks
