AttributeError: type object 'ConfigParser' has no attribute 'Error'

Question

from configparser import ConfigParser

configfile = 'config.ini'

cparser = ConfigParser()
try:
    # assigns values from config
except ConfigParser.Error as e:
    print(e)

This code was working a day ago, i dont know if i changed something and it messed things up, but it no longer works

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:Userskping_off-1v-ups-daemon.py", line 60, in <module>
    except ConfigParser.Error as e:
AttributeError: type object 'ConfigParser' has no attribute 'Error'

Answer 1

The Error exception is in the base configparser module, not in the configparser.ConfigParser class. Adjust your code to the following:

import configparser as cfg

configfile = 'config.ini'

cparser = cfg.ConfigParser()
try:
    # assigns values from config
except cfg.Error as e:
    print(e)
