Ah, thanks. I was following the example in Beazley's book and should have dug into the actual documentation a bit more. > OTOH you could just take advantage of Exception.args: >>>> class MyError(Exception): pass Sounds good to me. I take it that, if I don't inherit from Exception, various expected behaviors will break? (This is what Beazley suggests...) ---Joel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
