This works for me under Cygwin: >>> def test(): ... raise AssertionError ... >>> try: ... test() ... except AssertionError: ... print "caught AssertionError" ... caught AssertionError >>> I note from your indentation that it looks as though your code was guarded by some other statement. Is it possible it wasn't executed at all? regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
