In Python 2.5+, all errors that are raised are subclasses of BaseException, but that doesn't exist in 2.3 or 2.4, hence "object" which will catch anything (and still give us the e). The nested try is because the action of getting and storing e may cause an exception (though this shouldn't ever come up in practice). - Robert _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
