python __import__ question

[Evgeniy Zamriy]

Hello, All:

I have this code:
try:
empty_mod = __import__(some_empty_module)
except ImportError:
print "test"
raise

But python doesn't work with this except:
ImportError: No module named ....

My python version is 2.4.2 (Linux)

Thanks for your replies....

Your example is incomplete.
... empty_mod = __import__(some_empty_module)
... except ImportError:
... print "test"
... raise
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2, in ?
NameError: name 'some_empty_module' is not defined

Can you post a minimal, complete example that shows the behaviour?
