Well, Python's way of showing what the problem is is to throw up an exception, which is all the garbage you are looking it. In that sense it's not just "dying". It's trying to tell you what went wrong before bailing out of the cockpit. If you're a python programmer it's actually pretty nice as it allows you to trace where the problem occurred. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
