[sf-lug] ThinkPython: coding problem

[Alex Kleider]

Thanks to Jeff and Jim.
I googled python exceptions
and solved my problem using the 
try:
  pass
except:
  pass
construct and everything works just fine.

fyi:

def int_check(n):
  try:
    value=int(n)        
  except: 
    return False
  if type(value)==int:
    return True
  else:
    return False

def get (check, prompt, moan):
  response=raw_input(prompt)
  if check(response):
    return int(response)
  else:
    print moan
    return get (check,prompt,moan)

# main body
preamble()
a=get(int_check,'Enter a: ','Problem! a must be an integer. Try again')
