Usage of try: .. except: .. in zope
Hi All, I'm currently implementing a QuotaFolder for Zope, i.e. a Folder that restricts the number of objects, their sizes and their total size (and in the future: the installabe meta types). Things look very promising (if anyone feels like testing, please mail me), but it took me quite a while to fix one bug: When creating a ZopeTutorial in a QuotaFolder, I always got Error Type: Bad Request Error Value: The id "examples" is invalid--it is already in use. I couldn't really figure out why my QuotaFolder would cause ZopeTutorial to be installed (or actually imported) twice. Until I studied its code: In addTutorial in TutorialTopic.py, there's the following piece of importing code: # work around old Zope bug in importing try: folder.manage_importObject(tutorialExamplesFile) except: folder._p_jar=self.Destination()._p_jar folder.manage_importObject(tutorialExamplesFile) Basically, anything can go wrong in the first manage_importObject (and in my case it was the raising of a QuotaExceeded exception), causing the code to try to import the file *again* Isn't there a better/cleaner way to do this? It this Exception-type-less try/except construct used elsewhere in Zope (I think I've seen it before)? Should I put a request in the collector? Cheers, Ivo -- Drs.
