Question about working across modules

[dineshbvadhia]

When working across modules for example, in these 3 modules - this.py, that.py and other.py - is the @catch decorater placed on def a() only or def a(), def b() and def c()?

# other.py
def c()
    return c()
	
# that.py
import other

def b():
    return other.b()

# this.py
import that

def a():
    d, e, f = that.b()

It's up to you, depends on where you want to start having functions returning Result instead of raising exceptions. The function you choose will stop bubbling up exceptions and will return Err instead (or Ok if no exception was raised).

Apologies for the pedantic questions but to adopt poltergeist a lot of my code base will need to be modified. Say, I want the exception to bubble up to the original call ie.

# other.py
def c()
    return c()
	
# that.py
import other

def b():
    return other.b()

# this.py
import that

@catch(Exception)
def a():
    d, e, f = that.b()
    
result = a()

Will an exception in either def b() or def c() bubble up as-is or do they need try/except Exception blocks? ie.

# other.py
def c()
    try:
        return c()
    except Exception as exc:
        raise exc

On the rustedpy/result github page there is this example (https://github.com/rustedpy/result#summary) which is then shown coded with result:

def get_user_by_email(email: str) -> Tuple[Optional[User], Optional[str]]:
    """
    Return the user instance or an error message.
    """
    if not user_exists(email):
        return None, 'User does not exist'
    if not user_active(email):
        return None, 'User is inactive'
    user = get_user(email)
    return user, None

user, reason = get_user_by_email('[email protected]')
if user is None:
    raise RuntimeError('Could not fetch user: %s' % reason)
else:
    do_something(user)

How would this example be coded with poltergeist @catch?
