exception astroid.exceptions.AstroidBuildingError(message: str = 'Failed to import module {modname}.', modname: str | None = None, error: Exception | None = None, source: str | None = None, path: str | None = None, cls: type | None = None, class_repr: str | None = None, **kws: Any)

Bases: AstroidError

Exception class when we are unable to build an astroid representation.

Standard attributes:

modname: Name of the module that AST construction failed for. error: Exception raised during construction.

exception astroid.exceptions.AstroidError(message: str = '', **kws: Any)

Bases: Exception

Base exception class for all astroid related exceptions.

AstroidError and its subclasses are structured, intended to hold objects representing state when the exception is thrown. Field values are passed to the constructor as keyword-only arguments. Each subclass has its own set of standard fields, but use your best judgment to decide whether a specific exception instance needs more or fewer fields for debugging. Field values may be used to lazily generate the error message: self.message.format() will be called with the field names and values supplied as keyword arguments.

Bases: AstroidError

Raised by function’s default_value method when an argument has no default value.

astroid.exceptions.NotFoundError

alias of AttributeInferenceError

target: The node for which the parent lookup failed.

exception astroid.exceptions.ResolveError(message: str = '', context: InferenceContext | None = None, **kws: Any)

Bases: AstroidError

Base class of astroid resolution/inference error.

ResolveError is not intended to be raised.

Standard attributes:

context: InferenceContext object.

exception astroid.exceptions.StatementMissing(target: nodes.NodeNG)

Bases: ParentMissingError

Raised when a call to node.statement() does not return a node.

This is because a node in the chain does not have a parent attribute and therefore does not return a node for statement().

alias of SuperError

exception astroid.exceptions.SuperError(message: str, super_: objects.Super, **kws: Any)

alias of NameInferenceError

exception astroid.exceptions.UseInferenceDefault
