It is perfectly ok to `pass` exceptions if you know what you are doing. This is a known technique in python, sometimes referred to as EAFP (stands for `It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission`). You can find more information here <http://python.net/~goodger/projects/pycon/2007/idiomatic/handout.html#eafp-vs-lbyl> . However, it is strongly advised not to use a bare `except`, which causes every exception to pass silently and not just the one you are anticipating. You should only except what you can handle. In your case, just use except ValueError: def delcube(self, *args): sel = cmds.ls("myCube*", sl=True, dag=True, v=True, ud=False) myobj = "myCube*" for myobj in sel: if myobj == myobj: try: cmds.delete(myobj) except ValueError: # Shape Node already deleted pass -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
