How to use the niswitch.errors function in niswitch

We need to deal with a range ('0-3' or '0:3'), a list ('0,1,2,3') and a single item
    '''
    # First we deal with a list
    rep_cap_list = repeated_capability.split(',')
    if len(rep_cap_list) > 1:
        # We have a list so call ourselves again to let the iterable instance handle it
        return _convert_repeated_capabilities(rep_cap_list, prefix)

    # Now we deal with ranges
    # We remove any prefix and change ':' to '-'
    r = repeated_capability.strip().replace(prefix, '').replace(':', '-')
    rc = r.split('-')
    if len(rc) > 1:
        if len(rc) > 2:
            raise errors.InvalidRepeatedCapabilityError("Multiple '-' or ':'", repeated_capability)
        start = int(rc[0])
        end = int(rc[1])
        if end < start:
            rng = range(start, end - 1, -1)
        else:
            rng = range(start, end + 1)
        return _convert_repeated_capabilities(rng, prefix)

    # If we made it here, it must be a simple item so we remove any prefix and return
    return [repeated_capability.replace(prefix, '').strip()]

Returns:
            attribute_value (int): Returns the current value of the attribute. Pass the address of a
                ViInt32 variable. From the function panel window, you can use this
                control as follows. - If the attribute currently showing in the
                Attribute ID ring control has constants as valid values, you can view a
                list of the constants by pressing on this control. Select a value by
                double-clicking on it or by selecting it and then pressing .
