[p4python] Test code erroring out

[Sven Erik Knop]

Hi Matt,

Unfortunately, there is an error in documentation. Here is the correct code:

/from P4 import P4, P4Exception
    p4     p4.port     p4.user // 
/    try:
       p4.connect()
       info1        s        print s
       p4.disconnect()
    except P4Exception:
       for e in p4.errors:
        print e/

P4Exception is not a member of the instance "p4", but of the module 
"P4". With these changes you should be able to run the code.

Kind regards,

Sven Erik
