Question

I have the following program statement (program1.py)

I have a program 1:

try:

except:

I have another program 2 (program2.py):

def something: 
      print hello

is there a way when program 1 is imported into program 2 , that program 1 wraps around program 2, so the program should be

try:
   def something: 
          print hello    # all program 2 components

except:

I am confused on how to do this and any pointers would be appreciated

Answer 1

The way I would suggest going about this is with a decorator:

def tryit(fn):
    def wraps(*args, **kwargs):
        try:
            fn(*args, **kwargs)
        except Exception, e:
            print e
    return wraps

def doStuff(x, y):
    return x / y

@tryit
def main(arg1, arg2):
    print doStuff(arg1, arg2)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main(1, 10.0)
    main(100, 0)

OUTPUT

0.1
integer division or modulo by zero

Your logic might need to be reworked, but I think it would be worth it in the end.
