I am trying to use Python scripts in Zope 2.3 to validate a Formulator form, however I run into a couple of snags: - Formulator raises a class-based exception FormValidationError, which I am not authorized to import TTW. - Formulator returns the error data with the exception. So, my catch22 is that in order to successfully catch the exception, I must use a bare except clause, which of course does not allow me to get at the exception data (AFAIK), since I cannot specify a variable for it in except nor can I import sys and get at it that way. So the following things don't work: from Products.Formulator.Form import FormValidationError try: ...validation stuff... except FormValiadationError, errors: ...deal with errors... -- or -- try: ...validation stuff... except: ...deal with errors, except there's no way to get at them 8^(... Poking through the source didn't illuminate any built-in trick to get around this. The irony is that I can use DTML to do this, since it is more forgiving about exception names, but I don't want to use DTML for this, it is not a template, just a validation script. Anybody got a good solution (besides external methods)? /---------------------------------------------------\ Casey Duncan, Sr. Web Developer National Legal Aid and Defender Association c.duncan@nlada.org \---------------------------------------------------/
