class Error(UserDict.UserDict)
`` | `Universal error class. An error is a dictionary-like object, containing a specific user-readable error message and an object associated with it. Since Error inherits UserDict, other informative values can be arbitrarily attached to errors. For this reason, subclassing Error is rare. Example: err = Error(user, 'Invalid password.') err['time'] = time.time() err['attempts'] = attempts The object and message can be accessed via methods: print err.object() print err.message() When creating errors, you can pass None for both the object and the message. You can also pass additional values, which are then included in the error: >>> err = Error(None, 'Too bad.', timestamp=time.time()) >>> err.keys() ['timestamp'] Or include the values as a dictionary, instead of keyword arguments: >>> info = {'timestamp': time.time()} >>> err = Error(None, 'Too bad.', info) Or you could even do both if you needed to.`

Returns a list of values that match the given keys, each of which is passed through valueForName() and so could be of the form 'a.b.c'. keys and defaults are sequences. default is any kind of object. forgive and includeNames are flags. If default is not None, then it is substituted when a key is not found. Otherwise, if defaults is not None, then it's corresponding/parallel value for the current key is substituted when a key is not found. Otherwise, if forgive is true, then unknown keys simply don't produce any values. Otherwise, if default and defaults are None, and forgive is false, then the unknown keys will probably raise an exception through valueForUnknownKey() although that method can always return a final, default value. if keys is None, then None is returned. If keys is an empty list, then None is returned. Often these last four arguments are specified by key.
