Struct PyNameError 

pub struct PyNameError(/* private fields */);

Represents Python’s NameError exception.

Example: Raising NameError from Rust

This exception can be sent to Python code by converting it into a PyErr, where Python code can then catch it.

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::exceptions::PyNameError;

#[pyfunction]
fn always_throws() -> PyResult<()> {
    let message = "I'm NameError, and I was raised from Rust.";
    Err(PyNameError::new_err(message))
}

Python code:

from my_module import always_throws

try:
   always_throws()
except NameError as e:
   print(f"Caught an exception: {e}")

Example: Catching NameError in Rust

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::exceptions::PyNameError;
use pyo3::ffi::c_str;

Python::attach(|py| {
    let result: PyResult<()> = py.run(c_str!("raise NameError"), None, None);

    let error_type = match result {
        Ok(_) => "Not an error",
        Err(error) if error.is_instance_of::<PyNameError>(py) => "NameError",
        Err(_) => "Some other error",
    };

    assert_eq!(error_type, "NameError");
});

Implementations

Creates a new PyErr of this type.

Trait Implementations

impl PyTypeInfo for PyNameError

const NAME: &'static str = "PyNameError"

👎Deprecated since 0.28.0: prefer using ::type_object(py).name() to get the correct runtime value

Class name.

const MODULE: Option<&'static str>

👎Deprecated since 0.28.0: prefer using ::type_object(py).module() to get the correct runtime value

Module name, if any.

const TYPE_HINT: TypeHint

Provides the full python type as a type hint.

fn type_object_raw(py: Python<'_>) -> *mut PyTypeObject

Returns the PyTypeObject instance for this type.

fn type_object(py: Python<'_>) -> Bound<'_, PyType>

Returns the safe abstraction over the type object.

fn is_type_of(object: &Bound<'_, PyAny>) -> bool

Checks if object is an instance of this type or a subclass of this type.

fn is_exact_type_of(object: &Bound<'_, PyAny>) -> bool
