I don't know what "command" does, or what an "error" would mean for your purposes - if you want an exact answer, you'll need to provide more detail. However, I'm going to assume that if an "error" occurs, a Python exception of some sort gets raised. If so, here's how I would handle this: count = 0 success = False while (count < 3) and not success: try: Subprocess.Popen('command') success = True except: # (you shouldn't use a bare except, but I don't know what to expect) count +=1 sys.exit() _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
