<p>I get errors like this </p> <pre><code>return SegmentWriter(self, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/whoosh/writing.py", line 502, in __init__ raise LockError whoosh.index.LockError </code></pre> <p>I would like to catch these errors with a try/except statement. So I wrote</p> <pre><code>try: do whatever causes the error except LockError: print "LockError..." handle error </code></pre> <p>but this leads to a <code>NameError</code>, since <code>LockError</code> is unknown?</p> <pre><code> except LockError: NameError: global name 'LockError' is not defined </code></pre> <p>how do I handle these Lock errors?</p>

<p>First import exception in your namespace. Add this to your module:</p> <pre><code>from whoosh.index import LockError </code></pre>
