Description Daniel Ashbrook 2011-08-05 00:40:24 EEST

The following code fails silently rather than throwing exceptions due to
missing files:


from PySide.QtCore import *
from PySide.QtGui  import *
import sys

app = QCoreApplication(sys.argv)

QSound.play('/some_nonexistent_file')
q = QSound('/nonexistent')
q.play()

QTimer.singleShot(200, app.exit)

app.exec_()

Comment 1 Hugo Parente Lima 2011-08-08 17:34:55 EEST

The Qt C++ API doesn't throw exceptions on fail, neither PySide[1] and PyQt.

If we change the behavior of QSound we must change the behavior of all Qt
classes that would throw exceptions and this isn't feasible.

Regards.

[1] PySide throw just TypeError exceptions when the argument types aren't
compatible.
