Better question is why is there a try with no except... Better yet, WHY is there two TRY statements when there could quite happily be only one... Towards what you are asking, I GUESS...because the author hoped to handle the cases where cur failed to get assigned...but then his .close method of it would likely not work anyway...I mean...does this even work...YUCK -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
