They're both acceptable (although obviously you should always raise a more specific error than Exception). `raise SomeException` is in fact equivalent to `raise SomeException()`. Providing an error message is always advisable though, so really in most cases you ought to `raise SomeException("Informative error message")` Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
