Yep, I've encountered this same difficulty. In your case, probably the best thing to do is to do a render_response using an error template. If you *really* want to take matters into your own hands, write your own middleware that *wraps* the Paste exception handling middleware. I didn't do that, although I've done it for other things. Also, see the trick I wrote about here: http://jjinux.blogspot.com/2007/03/python-returning-multiple-things-of.html When I wrote that, I was facing the same issue you are facing.
