What exactly are you doing with this info? (Every time I started to do this, I found a better way. Perhaps one of them will apply for you.) (As a general comment, I'd point out that you don't have to check the entire error message; checking for a descriptive substring, while still not "safe", is at least safe*r*.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
