In ruby, the equivalent to try...except is begin...rescue. In the rescue section you can ask it to retry the begin section. So, for example: b=0 begin puts 1/b rescue b=1 retry # <- this little guy end I don't think python has any equivalent (could be wrong). You can do something like this however: b=0 def do_stuff(): print 1/b try: do_stuff() except: b=1 do_stuff() Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
