Unfortunately your attempt to catch this exception is hiding the true cause. You need to give us the actual exception. Otherwise it could be anything from self.PIPEPATH not existing to who knows what. Almost never do you want to catch all exceptions like you're doing. You should only catch the specific exceptions you know how to deal with in your code. For testing purposes, if your code really is as you put it, then catching exceptions is kind of silly since you're just re-raising the exception (sort of) but without any contextual information that would make the error meaningful. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
