Ah yes that actually works, but I think is quite dodgy, why was it done like this? In shutil there is still no mention of SystemExit, and trying to raise the single exceptions by and doens't still make it exit, so I would still like to know how it is possible just for curiosity.. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
