No no, that's just *too* nasty. But there are times now and then when, perhaps, you're working remotely, and you have to figure out what's wrong without exception tracebacks. Sure, 95% of programmers will never be in that situation, but it's a good skill to have. And when that disaster _does_ strike and you're stuck with just a file uploader and a crashing script, you'll look awesome for being able to fix it in five minutes flat :) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
