Not that I want to appear smarter, but I think the problem here is that exceptions are new-style classes now, whereas Empty is an old-style class. But even if you define Empty as a new-style class, it will not work, you get: TypeError: __class__ assignment: only for heap types This tells us that we cannot change the attributes of a built-in exception. If it would be possible, I simply would have overridden the __str__ method of the original exception in the first place. -- Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
