I could be mistaken, but I *think* the OP is asking how to re-enter the stack at the same point as the exception exited from and continue with the execution as if the exception never happened. AFAIK, that isn't possible; however, given that he has a file to work from that indicates a portion of the state at the time of the exception, I think he may be able simulate that kind of functionality by reading in the file on exception and then returning a call to the function where the exception occured with the data from the file. Something like this mockup: def faulty_function(a, b, c=None): if not c: c = 0 try: # modify c, write c to file... # oops hit an exception c += a / b except: # read from the file here # c = ... # and fix the error b += 1 return faulty_function(a, b, c) return c print faulty_function(2, 0) # => 2 Of course, it's probably much better to just fix the code and avoid the exception in the first place. ;) Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
