12.13.3 Exceptions

Exceptions in this module are coded as class instances:

Error: The base exception class. Error has a single public data member msg containing the description of the error.

ConversionError: Class derived from Error. Contains no additional instance variables.

Here is an example of how you would catch one of these exceptions:

import xdrlib
p = xdrlib.Packer()
try:
    p.pack_double(8.01)
except xdrlib.ConversionError, instance:
    print 'packing the double failed:', instance.msg
