thanks Ron,
but I was looking for a more general solution,
in which I don't change the program itself,
and where the error messages (in general) become more informative than
it is by default.
cheers,
Stef

Hi Stef,
You can do something like (not tested):
try:
self.Brick.Par [ self.EP[2] ]['FileName'] = filename
except IndexError,e:
msg = "%s: '%s %s %s %d" %
(e.strerror,e.filename,self.EP,self.EP[2],len(self.Brick.Par))
print msg
Bye,
Ron.

Subject: can error messages be improved or can they be overridden ?
hello,
I often get an error message like this
self.Brick.Par [ self.EP[2] ]['FileName'] = filename
IndexError: list index out of range
Now it would be very welcome,
if the error message specified which index is out of range,
in this case e.g.,
- specifying the length of self.EP
- specifying the value of self.EP[2]
- specifying the length of self.Brick.Par etc..
Is there a way to override the error message and provide this
information, or is it impossible ?
And if it's possible, am I the only one who often stumbles
about this problem ?
(I expect many people must have bounced in this problem before me ;-)
thanks,
Stef Mientki
