[Orbit-python-list] Exceptions

[James T. <ja...@ko...>]

Hello,

I'm new to ORBit and orbit-python and having a bit of trouble. I've taken
a piece of python test code that contained no classes and attempted to
make it into a class.

Here's a snip of the code

import sys
try:
  import CORBA
except ImportError,ex:
  print "Failed to load CORBA module."
  print "Please see http://projects.sault.org/orbit-python/ for the
required python CORBA bindings"
  sys.exit(0);
        

class DSdataLink:
  def __init__(self, name, table):
    self.databaseName = name
    self.tableName    = table
    
  def connect(self):
    # find the object server base object
    CORBA.load_idl( "../../objectserver/idl/gedi.idl" )
    orb = CORBA.ORB_init( () , CORBA.ORB_ID )
    ior = open("/tmp/databasefactory.ior").readline()
    self.factory = orb.string_to_object(ior)

    try:
      self.database = self.factory.newDatabase( self.databaseName );
    except UnknownDatabase,ex:
      print "Failed to connect to database. Exiting."
      print ex.detail
      sys.exit(0)

    self.database.connect()


A bunch snipped.  

Now when this code runs I get


  File "./DSgedi.py", line 38, in connect
    except GEDI.UnknownDatabase,ex:
NameError: GEDI


This same code runs fine when not inside a class.  Any idea what am I
missing?

Thanks,
James
