Oh I don't know about that. Doing a quick and totally unscientific survey of my own code, I find that try...except with no finally outnumbers try...finally by about 10 to 1. In any case, any syntax for inline exception handling should be kept nice and lightweight. It shouldn't try to duplicate all the functionality of try...except...else...finally blocks. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
