Isn't this a case of useless overcomplexification ? Since you end up raising an exception, why not just assume the object is ok and let Python raise the exception for you if it is not ? From the client code POV, it doesn't make much difference !-) > Is it wrong to 're-raise' an exception with application-specific > details within an except clause? Nope - as long as you provide more details (or more helpful details) *and* do not loose/mask/whatever useful infos from the original exception. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
