Writing to Console on mac OS X

I'm on mac os x 10.4.11 running python 2.5.2, and Django 1.0, but this is a python question. When doing django/mod_python stuff, I can write to the Apache error_log file with sys.stderr.write(SOMETHING I WANT TO KNOW) which had me wondering if there's not a means for a misc. python

coding style - try, except

I'm still learning, so eager to see if there is some community wisdom about use of the try/except structures in this situation. I find myself with some potentially risky stuff and wrap it in a try/except structure with good functional results, though my code leaves me a bit uneasy. Maybe

Re: coding style - try, except

I'm glad I asked :) Thanks all who posted for your replies, the else-statement is a nice option. Python again comes through to deal with those pesky feelings that something could be better :) Ross. Chris Rebert wrote: Yes. try-except-*else*. try: do_something_1()

Blanket font setting?

I'm doing an app with the AUI manager capabilities (using some of the wxPython demo's for help). All is well, except I'm a bit disappointed with the font management. The default font for all the widgets (TextCtrl's, StaticText's etc) are a bit large for my design intent and as I try to
