Sorry, I can't be much help, but thought I'd make a general comment about
Python coding style..
>From http://docs.python.org/2/glossary.html:

Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. This common Python coding style
assumes the existence of valid keys or attributes and catches exceptions if
the assumption proves false. This clean and fast style is characterized by the
presence of many try and except statements. The technique contrasts with the
LBYL style common to many other languages such as C.
"""
So I wouldn't be too disappointed with a well-placed try/except block fixing
the problem.
Kind regards,
Alex
