How to catch these exceptions individually?

Question

I am writing a Python program that interfaces with Quickbooks. When connecting to Quickbooks, depending on the problem, I might get one of two common exceptions:

Answer 1

Now pywintypes.error is BaseException.

There is no need to from pywintypes import com_error.

If you want to catch this exception. You can just catch BaseException

except BaseException as e: # to catch pywintypes.error
    print(e.args)

the exception's format likes this:

(0, 'SetForegroundWindow', 'No error message is available')

So If you want to examine the return code,use e.args[0] instead of e.exceptinfo[5]
