I have a custom database interface with (amongst other things) a lazy rowgetter. Our database provides custom exception messages when, for instance, a rate limit is exceeded.
Because of the "laziness" of the rowgetter, the except clause in my view (shown below) is not triggered, and control falls to core/handlers/base.py : handle_uncaught_exception. try: rota = self.model.xmlapi_get_location (**kwargs) except DBException, e: code, message = [epart.strip() for epart in e.msg.split(':')] return HttpResponse(message, status=code, content_type="text/plain") I've tried the following: * The use of middleware using "process_exception" : DBException not raised * handler500 in urls : DBException not available Consequently I believe I need to either make my lazy rowgetter less lazy so that it errors earlier, or subclass handle_uncaught_exception. If the latter is feasible I'd be grateful for some advice on how to do so within my app. Rory p.s.
