I can't get Python's try/else blocks to catch MySQL warnings when the execution statements are wrapped in classes.
I have a class that has as a MySQL connection object as an attribute, a MySQL cursor object as another, and a method that run queries through that cursor object. The cursor is itself wrapped in a class. These seem to run queries properly, but the MySQL warnings they generate are not caught as exceptions in a try/else block. Why don't the try/else blocks catch the warnings? How would I revise the classes or method calls to catch the warnings?
Also, I've looked through the prominent sources and can't find a discussion that helps me understand this. I'd appreciate any reference that explains this.
Please see code below. Apologies for verbosity, I'm newbie.
