Sanity Tests » no-get-exception
===============================
We created a function, ``ansible.module_utils.pycompat24.get_exception`` to
help retrieve exceptions in a manner compatible with Python-2.4 through
Python-3.6. We no longer support Python-2.4 and Python-2.5 so this is
extraneous and we want to deprecate the function. Porting code should look
something like this:
.. code-block:: python
# Unfixed code:
try:
raise IOError('test')
except IOError:
e = get_excetion()
do_something(e)
except:
e = get_exception()
do_something_else(e)
# After fixing:
try:
raise IOError('test')
except IOErrors as e:
do_something(e)
except Exception as e:
do_something_else(e)
