[Jython-dev] Difference in exception raised when compiled vs. interpreted

[Titus B. <ti...@ca...>]

Hi, I'm having an interesting problem:

in the following piece of code, when interpreted,

---
try:
   (a, b, c) = string.split(s)
except ValueError:
   print 'ERROR in input string, skipping line: %s' % (s,)
--

if the split of s does not contain three elements, a ValueError
is raised & caught appropriately.

HOWEVER, if I use jythonc to compile the file into a .class, it turns
out that a KeyError is raised in the same place for the same piece of
code.

I then need to change the except statement to:

--
except (ValueError, KeyError):
--

and it all works fine.

Cheers,
