Since Python 3.2.4. Or will it be 3.3.5? I will forget. *wink* The point is that Python makes no promises about the error messages. The OP might be using a localised version, or some implementation that's not CPython, or the next version of Python might change the error message. Hell, a user should be able to hack their personal copy of Python and customize the error strings without having to fear that code will break. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
