Type the following code into the notebook — pressing Enter after each line: class CustomValueError(ValueError):

def __init__(self, arg):

self.strerror = arg

self.args = {arg}

try:

raise CustomValueError("Value must be within 1 and 10.")

except CustomValueError as e:

print("CustomValueError Exception!", e.strerror)

This example essentially replicates the functionality of the example in the “Passing error information to the caller” section of the chapter. However, it places the same error in both strerror and args so that the developer has access to either (as would normally happen).

The code begins by creating the CustomValueError class that uses the ValueError exception class as a starting point. The __init__() function provides the means for creating a new instance of that class. Think of the class as a blueprint and the instance as the building created from the blueprint.

Notice that the strerror attribute has the value assigned directly to it, but args receives it as an array. The args member normally contains an array of all the exception values, so this is standard procedure, even when args contains just one value as it does now.

The code for using the exception is considerably easier than modifying ValueError directly. All you do is call raise with the name of the exception and the arguments you want to pass, all on one line.
