[Sebastian Ramacher]

Package: idjc
Version: 0.8.7-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Usertags: l4py-except-shadows-builtin

lintian4py reports the followin issues:

e: idjc: except-shadows-builtin usr/share/pyshared/idjc/freefunctions.py:55: TypeError
e: idjc: except-shadows-builtin usr/share/pyshared/idjc/maingui.py:2204: IOError

From the tag's description:
N:   One error that Python programmers occasionally make is writing the
N:   following code:
N:
N:     try:
N:         ...
N:     except TypeError, ValueError:  # Wrong!
N:         ...
N:
N:   The author is probably trying to catch both TypeError and ValueError
N:   exceptions, but this code actually does something different: it will
N:   catch TypeError and bind the resulting exception object to the local
N:   name ValueError. The ValueError exception will not be caught at all.
N:   The correct code specifies a tuple of exceptions:
N:
N:     try:
N:         ...
N:     except (TypeError, ValueError):
N:         ...
N:
N:   Refer to
N:   http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-3110-exception-handling-c
N:   hanges for details.

Please find attached a patch to fix this issue.
