I have been trying except SearchError: however I get the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\timeDelay.py", line 19, in <module> except SearchError: NameError: name 'SearchError' is not defined I have searched all documents for terms along the lines of searcherror but am finding nothing..
