GLib.Error

Class Details

class GLib.Error

args

code

domain

message

classmethod new_literal(domain, message, code)

Creates a new GLib.Error; unlike g_error_new(), message is not a printf()-style format string. Use this function if message contains text you don’t have control over, that could include printf() escape sequences.

matches(domain, code)

Returns True if self matches domain and code, False otherwise. In particular, when self is None, False will be returned.

If domain contains a FAILED (or otherwise generic) error code, you should generally not check for it explicitly, but should instead treat any not-explicitly-recognized error code as being equivalent to the FAILED code. This way, if the domain is extended in the future to provide a more specific error code for a certain case, your code will still work.
