Hi,
I am hitting this error consistently and don't know why it's
happening. I would like to define all exceptions for my project in one
file and use them across the project. Here's a sample -
exceptions.py -
from exceptions import *
raise MyException("Raise custom error")
When the above is run, I get the following error -
NameError: global name 'MyException' is not defined
When you get this kind of error, goto a python prompt
(type python at a command prompt, or click on IDLE)
and try this:
>>import exceptions
help( exceptions )
I got this response (clipped):
Help on built-in module exceptions:
NAME
exceptions - Python's standard exception class hierarchy.
Another common module name to avoid is "test".
Rob.
