simple try/except question

[Alan Isaac]

Is the behavior below expected?
If so, why is the exception not caught?
Thanks,

A typo in your code? It works for me(tm)...

Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information..... except TypeError: print 'oops'
....
oops

It works for me, using 2.5.1 and 2.4.3 on Windows XP.
Perhaps you reassigned TypeError?
Python 2.5 says:

py> TypeError
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>

Earlier versions:
py> TypeError
<class exceptions.TypeError at 0x009B4570>

Python 2.4.3

Sorry to have left out that detail.
Yes, it works for me in Python 2.4,
but not in 2.5.1.

The code I posted was copyied from the interpreter.

False alarm.
Fresh start of interpreter and all is well.
Apologies.
Still tracking.

Yes, that was it.
Sheesh.
