57 | 18.1.4 Exceptions and Error Handling | |
58 | </H2> | |
59 | ||
60 | <P> | |
61 | The parser module defines a single exception, but may also pass other | |
62 | built-in exceptions from other portions of the Python runtime | |
63 | environment. See each function for information about the exceptions | |
64 | it can raise. | |
65 | ||
66 | <P> | |
67 | <dl><dt><b><span class="typelabel">exception</span> <tt id='l2h-4949' xml:id='l2h-4949' class="exception">ParserError</tt></b></dt> | |
68 | <dd> | |
69 | Exception raised when a failure occurs within the parser module. This | |
70 | is generally produced for validation failures rather than the built in | |
71 | <tt class="exception">SyntaxError</tt> thrown during normal parsing. | |
72 | The exception argument is either a string describing the reason of the | |
73 | failure or a tuple containing a sequence causing the failure from a parse | |
74 | tree passed to <tt class="function">sequence2ast()</tt> and an explanatory string. Calls to | |
75 | <tt class="function">sequence2ast()</tt> need to be able to handle either type of exception, | |
76 | while calls to other functions in the module will only need to be | |
77 | aware of the simple string values. | |
78 | </dd></dl> | |
79 | ||
80 | <P> | |
81 | Note that the functions <tt class="function">compileast()</tt>, <tt class="function">expr()</tt>, and | |
82 | <tt class="function">suite()</tt> may throw exceptions which are normally thrown by the | |
83 | parsing and compilation process. These include the built in | |
84 | exceptions <tt class="exception">MemoryError</tt>, <tt class="exception">OverflowError</tt>, | |
85 | <tt class="exception">SyntaxError</tt>, and <tt class="exception">SystemError</tt>. In these cases, these | |
86 | exceptions carry all the meaning normally associated with them. Refer | |
87 | to the descriptions of each function for detailed information. | |
