Exception subclasses don't always inherit Exception.__init__

[GoogleCodeExporter]

fake.py:
class Error(Exception):
    pass

class BadError(Exception):
    pass

def exception_error():
    raise Error("AOE")
    raise BadError("AOE")

if __name__=='__main__':
    Error("OE")
    BadError()
    exception_error()

------------

So Error() is fine because the __main__ calls the Error(string) init, but 
BadError() crashes shedskin like so:

Sorry about all these issues, I swear I'm doing something that's useful for 
shedskin. I'm a little past halfway into porting binascii.

auwf, thanks! I'm actually very happy you report you this, because this is 
really basic code that should work.. no time unfortunately this weekend, but 
I'm planning on looking into it next week.

in trying to reproduce this without relying on builtin exception classes, I ran 
into the following, possibly related problem:

class MyBaseException:
    def __init__(self, msg=None):
        self.msg = msg
class MyException(MyBaseException): pass
class MyStandardError(MyException): pass
class MyBadError(MyException):
    pass

if __name__=='__main__':
    MyStandardError()
    MyBadError()

I guess shedskin still has some problems with deeper inheritance hierarchies..

minimized the first fragment as follows. strangely copying the Exception 
classes into here makes it compile.

class BadError(Exception):
    pass

if __name__=='__main__':
    BadError()
    BadError("AOE")

okay, I spent a few hours debugging this today, and I think I understand the 
cause of problem 1. unfortunately the obvious fix leads to other problems, so I 
will have to look a bit further.. :-)

so I had another look after coffee the next morning, and committed a fix:

http://gitorious.org/shedskin/mainline/commit/d29197767ce46966567b7331b57ff2744d

I just love throwing away code! :D

unfortunately I can't close this issue because of the other problem it made me 
find.. so I will look into that next.

btw, how's your project going..? do you have something interesting (and large?) 
yet that we might add to examples/? :-)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

alright, the other problem is fixed now too. please confirm that I can close 
this issue! :D

I'm too impatient, I know.. ;) please reopen the issue if you run into anything 
similar.

No, sorry. Shedskin's library limitations are very restrictive for me. I'll be 
opening a separate ticket to discuss my solution for that.
