[Zope-dev] urgent: string exceptions

[Chris McDonough]

You can catch most string exceptions.  "Bad Request" cannot be caught
because (afaik) the string isn't interned because it has a space in it.

As a workaround, I'd use except: then do

try:
   something
except:
   e = sys.exc_info()
   if e[0] == 'Bad Request':
      do something
   raise
