Question

can somebody help me with the following piece of the code:

try:
    #do some things
    myClass.close()
except Exception, error:
    myClass.close()
    raise error

as You see I can’t use here finally because in that case I will not know if an error actually occured, and I need to raise this error (raise error)

my question is how can I avoid using this two times myClass.close()? thanks in advance for any help

Answer 1

This is equivalent to your code:

try:
    #do some things
finally:
    myClass.close()

First it calls myClass.close() and if there was a error it is raised again.

You can also have this to handle specific exceptions:

try:
    #do some things
except Exception, error:
    raise # re-raise the original exception
finally:
    myClass.close()
