Ok, I managed to import the correct error class (was in a non expected place) Just as I thought I was finished, I encountered a final problem. I am running a while loop which is constantly adding search results to a file, like this (print >> f, res.total_results_available). I have put an exception in that if it times out, it simply tries again until its finished. The problem is that the loop re-write all new results continuing on from the previous searches. I would like to somehow delete all in that file and start again. I thought this could simply be achieved by putting f.close() in the exception and then it re-writes it however I am getting this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/csunix/scs5fjnh/FYProj/Python/pYsearch-3.1/test9.py", line 17, in <module> print >> f, res.total_results_available ValueError: I/O operation on closed file Is there another way rather than closing the file? Is it possible to delete all within the file? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
