Hi, folks.  I'm wondering if it's possible to catch python exceptions in
the pcaspy Driver class.  For instance, I have a very simple dummy
server (attached), in whose write() method there is a call that should
throw a NameError.  However, when the server is running, a CA write
(e.g. "caput MTEST:RAND 3") produces the following output:

filename="../../../../src/cas/generic/st/casStreamOS.cc" line number=479
Internal failure - unexpected problem with client's input - forcing disconnect

The server process also continues to run.

Is there a way to get a proper python exception out of this situation?
I would prefer the server to terminate with the exception, but I would
be ok with the server continuing to run if the exception in the Driver
could at least be reported to stderr or the like.  As is it's a little
tricky to debug these errors.

Thanks in advance for any help.

jamie.

#!/usr/bin/env python

From pcaspy import Driver, SimpleServer

prefix = 'MTEST:'
pvdb = {
    'RAND' : {
        'prec' : 3,
    },
}

class myDriver(Driver):
    def  __init__(self):
        super(myDriver, self).__init__()

    def write(self, channel, value):
        foo        

if __name__ == '__main__':
    server = SimpleServer()
    server.createPV(prefix, pvdb)
    driver = myDriver()
    while True:
        server.process(0.1)
