Hi, First of all thanks all for answering! I have some environment check and setup in the beginning of the code. I would like to move it to the end of the script. But I want it to execute first, so the script will exit if the environment is not configured properly. Thanks, Alex. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
