as the name implies, "args" is supposed to be a sequence, and is stored internally as a tuple. if something has changed, it's probably that 2.5 enforces this behaviour via a property. to fix your code, just replace your own __init__ method with a "pass", and leave the initialization to the Exception class itself. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
