Any hints / help would be much appreciated! Thank you.
My Mac begs to differ: ~ $ cat Desktop/tmp.py def test(): raise AssertionError try: test() except AssertionError: print "caught AssertionError" ~ $ /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python2.5 Desktop/tmp.py caught AssertionError ~ $ /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python2.5 Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb 4 2008, 21:48:13) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin The problem must lie elsewhere.
