How to pass a variable to an exception when raised and retrieve it when excepted?

Question

Right now I just have a blank exception class. I was wondering how I can give it a variable when it gets raised and then retrieve that variable when I handle it in the try...exc

Answer 1

You can do this.

try:
    ex = ExampleException()
    ex.my_variable= "some value"
    raise ex
except ExampleException, e:
    print( e.my_variable )

Works fine.
