In the Python bindings for ecCodes, there are a set of exception classes which allow the user to see what kind of exception was raised. Client code that currently handles exceptions does not need to be changed because the new exceptions are subclassed from the current CodesInternalError
.
# The class CodesInternalError is the base class for all these exceptions class FunctionalityNotEnabledError(CodesInternalError): """Functionality not enabled.""" class WrongBitmapSizeError(CodesInternalError): """Size of bitmap is incorrect.""" class OutOfRangeError(CodesInternalError): """Value out of coding range.""" class UnsupportedEditionError(CodesInternalError): """Edition not supported..""" class AttributeNotFoundError(CodesInternalError): """Attribute not found..""" class TooManyAttributesError(CodesInternalError): """Too many attributes.
