Error managment question (Trace Backs ?)

[vpr]

Hi

This is a noob question, but here goes. I have a class that calls a
function.
class test:
def __init__(self):
if foo():
print "it worked"
else:
print "error"
def foo():
some test returns 1 or 0

Now in other langs like C / C++ I catch the error in foo and report and
exit.
However I suspect in python that I can raise it and the class can catch
it ?

Guess I'm new to Traceback's ,etc

the "errors and exceptions" chapter in the tutorial might be helpful:

http://docs.python.org/tut/node10.html

(especially sections 8.3 and 8.4)
