Script failing despite being within a try/except

[pturmel]

Python's Exception class is not the same thing as java.lang.Exception. You'll need a separate except clause for it. Something like this:

Catch IOException?

Consider using two except blocks, as jython’s standard Exception won’t catch pure java exceptions. Like so: import java.lang.Exception try: # something something something except Exception, e: # jython exception except java.lang.Exception, e: # java exception
