Repeat an exception

translator API. The problem is when a TranslationError occurs(usually
because of connection problems). I can
except the first one, but I don't know how to except again. I "solved"
the problem by saving temp db's and then joining them, but it must be
a pythonic way to do it.
Here's a snippet from the code:
english_field = oldDb[i].fieldData[0] #oldDb is a db filled
with english words
try:
spanish_field = translate(english_field, lang_to='es',
lang_from='en')
except TranslationError:
spanish_field = translate(english_field, lang_to='es',
lang_from='en')
#Then I save the fields into a new db

Is this actual code? I may be mistaken, but at least in Python 3.x it seems
there should be a comma between each 'with' expression. And there should
certainly be a colon at the end.
It's best to copy and paste real code.
Made-up code can just be misleading for those who'd like to help.

Possibly I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but have you thought of using a loop?

In other words:
for attempt in range(2):
try:
spanish_field = translate(english_field, lang_to='es',
lang_from='en')
break
except TranslationError:
pass
else:
# Didn't break out of the loop, therefore not successful.
print "Translation failed"

thx
What one gets from conditioning oneself to ignore comments in code.

What the hell is this 'for else' loop !! :D First time I see this
statement for years.
I'd never thought I'd still learn something that basic.
My first impression is that the mechansim is not that obvious. MRAB's
need for a comment tends to confirm this.
I'll try to remember that anyway. Nice addition.
