I would like to catch and log MySQL warnings in Python. For example, MySQL issues a warning to standard error if you submit 'DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS database_of_armaments' when no such database exists. I would like to catch this and log it, but even in the try/else syntax the warning message still appears.
The try/except syntax does catch MySQL errors (eg, submission of a typo like 'DRP DATABASE database_of_armaments').
I have experimented with <> -- no luck. I've looked at the warnings module, but don't understand how to incorporate it into the try/else syntax.
To be concrete, how do I get the following (or something like it) to work.
GIVEN: database 'database_of_armaments' does not exist.
try:
cursor.execute('DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS database_of_armaments')
except: <>
print 'There was a MySQL warning.'
<>
UPDATE:
Thanks for the comments. I had tried these and they didn't work -- but I had been using a DatabaseConnection class that I wrote for a connection, and its runQuery() method to execute. When I created a connection and cursor outside the class, the try/except Exception caught the "Programming Error", and except MySQLdb.ProgrammingError worked as advertised.
So now I have to figure out what is wrong with my class coding.
Thank you for your help.

Follow these steps.
Run it with except Exception, e: print repr(e).
See what exception you get.
Change the Exception to the exception you actually got.
Also, remember that the exception, e, is an object. You can print dir(e), e.__class__.__name__, etc.to see what attributes it has.
Also, you can do this interactively at the >>> prompt in Python. You can then manipulate the object directly -- no guessing.
