Step 1, provoke the error: $ python -c"while 1: print 42" | head -n1 42 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe Step 1a, read the error message carefully ;) Step 2, catch the error: $ python -c"try: while 1: print 42 except IOError as e: if e.errno != 32: raise " | head -n1 42 Step 3, repeat if necessary. IOError is only one example. Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
