How to capture Exception in python scripting for new_server function?

Question

I tried to capture the exception case with the following code when the function of new_server is called with wrong scrpting server port ID or password. 
 ======================================================================================== 
 try : s_o, g_o = new_server( 'localhost' , outputport, password =outpass, error_mode=(RAISE)) except : msgbox( "Warning: the supplied scripting server port ID or password is not correct." ) sys.exit() 
 ======================================================================================== 
 However, it seems that the exception does happen even when I provide the correct port ID and password. Not sure how to get it to work. Thanks for help in advance. 
 Also, is it possible tp reset the port ID / password for the scripting server within the python code in the middle of the process? For example, after some tasks are completed, those settings will be re-set for the following tasks.

Hi Bo Xu, 
 The code to check this would ideally look like this: 
 
 from plxscripting.easy import * 
 from easygui import msgbox

outputport = 10001
 outputpass = r'YOURPASSWORD'

s_o , g_o = new_server ( 'localhost' , outputport , password = outputpass )
 if not s_o . active :
 msgbox ( "Warning: the supplied scripting server port ID or password is not correct." )
 sys . exit ()

If you want to reset the port/password in your code, you have to call the newserver with the new port number/password to set Output's server object (s_o) and Outpuyt's global object (g_o). Note that if you call Output from the PLAXIS Input program, like when viewing a phase, it will return the port number that is being assigned to Output. 
 Python example 
 
 from plxscripting.easy import * 
 from easygui import msgbox

inputport = 10000
 plaxispass = r'YOURPASSWORD'

# initiate the Input server object 
 s_i , g_i = new_server ( 'localhost' , inputport plaxispass )

# call viewing results from the Input program 
 outputport , = g_i . view ( g_i . Phase_2 ))

# initiate the Output server object 
 s_o , g_o = new_server ( 'localhost' , outputport , password = plaxispass )
 if not s_o . active :
 msgbox ( "Warning for PLAXIS Output: the supplied scripting server port ID or password is not correct." )
 sys . exit ()
