IT sounds like your try/except is masking the error. Its usually a good idea to NOT Use try/except when developing your code, then go back and put it in when the basics are working. That way Pythons own exception handling will catch the error, force a break and print the stacktrace whoich helps identify the problem. > is there a parameter that will allow me to use try and except but that > will also pring out the traceback statements that python usually does to > the terminal? One technique is to simply call raise within each exception block, then comment out the raise lines when you no longer need them.
