Note that in general the semantics of these are different, since in the first version the except clause will only catch exceptions in <operation that may fail>, whereas in the second it may catch exceptions in <build on successful operation> as well. It probably doesn't make a difference in this example, but there are situations where it can. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
