No probs! It's part of my ancillary stuff for the PEP 463 research: https://github.com/Rosuav/ExceptExpr/blob/master/find_except_expr.py It basically just runs over one file at a time, parses it into an AST, and walks the tree. Pretty simple. Actually, some of these sorts of things might make neat examples of what can be done with the ast module. Until this week, I had no idea how easy it was to analyze Python code this way. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
