try: except: not working

Question

So I\'m running into a problem where the try: except: mechanism doesn\'t seem to be working correctly in python.

Here are the contents of my two files.

Answer 1

... at a guess, you have a namespace problem which is producing a different exception.

Try replacing

except:
    print 'Why caught here?'

with

except Exception, e:
    print e

This may tell you more about what went wrong.
