Exceptions
----------

Exceptions in this module are coded as class instances:

`Error'
     The base exception class.  `Error' has a single public data member
     `msg' containing the description of the error.

`ConversionError'
     Class derived from `Error'.  Contains no additional instance
     variables.

Here is an example of how you would catch one of these exceptions:

     import xdrlib
     p = xdrlib.Packer()
     try:
         p.pack_double(8.01)
     except xdrlib.ConversionError, instance:
         print 'packing the double failed:', instance.msg
