error Object

An exception raised when a win32 error occurs

Comments

This error is defined in the pywintypes module, but most of the win32 modules expose this error object via their own error attribute - eg, win32api.error is pywintypes.error is win32gui.error.

This exception is derived from the standard Python Exception object.

Instances of these exception can be accessed via indexing or via attribute access. Attribute access is more forwards compatible with Python 3, so is recommended.
