5718.1.4 Exceptions and Error Handling
58</H2>
59
60<P>
61The parser module defines a single exception, but may also pass other
62built-in exceptions from other portions of the Python runtime
63environment. See each function for information about the exceptions
64it can raise.
65
66<P>
67<dl><dt><b><span class="typelabel">exception</span>&nbsp;<tt id='l2h-4949' xml:id='l2h-4949' class="exception">ParserError</tt></b></dt>
68<dd>
69Exception raised when a failure occurs within the parser module. This
70is generally produced for validation failures rather than the built in
71<tt class="exception">SyntaxError</tt> thrown during normal parsing.
72The exception argument is either a string describing the reason of the
73failure or a tuple containing a sequence causing the failure from a parse
74tree 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,
76while calls to other functions in the module will only need to be
77aware of the simple string values.
78</dd></dl>
79
80<P>
81Note 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
83parsing and compilation process. These include the built in
84exceptions <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
86exceptions carry all the meaning normally associated with them. Refer
87to the descriptions of each function for detailed information.
