[python-win32] How to catch a COM error

[Gregory Piñero]

Hi guys,

This is a silly question but how do I capture a com_error from another
module? Below is the code I'm trying but it's not working. I get
this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
except com_error:
NameError: name 'com_error' is not defined

<code>
import module_that_uses_com
try:
module_that_uses_com.main(False) #Production
except com_error:
#sometimes QB throws an error for no good reason
#so many times if we wait it gets better.
#>Is this the correct error to capture?
time.sleep(600) #10 min
module_that_uses_com.main(False)
</code>

Much thanks!

Just wanted to check if this made it to you guys? Not because I'm
impatient, just that some of my emails haven't been making to the list
lately.

com_error is in the pythoncom module. So you want:

import pythoncom
...
try:
...
except pythoncom.com_error:
...
