The latter is certainly my goal. I just haven't looked into supporting exceptions yet, because I personally never use them. I feel they should only occur in very bad situations, or they become goto-like constructs that intuitively feel very ugly. In the 5500 lines of the compiler itself, I have not needed to use a single exception. For example, I prefer to check whether a file exists myself, rather than executing code that can suddenly jump somewhere else. There's probably some use for exceptions, but I don't (want to?) see it. Seeing how often exceptions are used by other people though, it's probably one of the first things I should look into.. :-) thanks! mark. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
