Revision: 5538 Author: nicdumz Date: 2008-06-08 21:38:17 +0000 (Sun, 08 Jun 2008)

Log Message: ----------- Erm. This sort of error handling : except Exception, e: output(unicode(e)) should really be avoided, please. Having a traceback is critical for debugging. Sometimes catching all the Exceptions is necessary, but we usually don't want to to verbose, do we ?

Here, I don't really understand to catch all these Exception. However, I'm only adding a traceback.print_exc()

(For the record, I spent... too much time adding random traceback.print_trace to wikipedia.py to debug the isPublic() bug I attempted to fix in r5535, because it was dying with an unmeaningful error message)
