if you put a debug print statement, eg ... except SystemExit,s: print "s in exception " , s, type(s) if (s==0): .... you will notice 's' is an "instance". so when it reaches the if (s==0), which you are comparing with a number, it will fail and then hello is printed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
