This statement actually works in Python and I occasionally use it when debugging (in the same fashion as one might do printf() debugging in C). It raises a NameError and the program dies with a traceback. Most frequently, it's to prevent the program from continuing on to connect to a database and actually make changes. I've grown up a bit and usually use pdb.set_trace() now, but it's still in my grab-bag of tools. -tkc [sorry for the previous message if I failed to cancel the send that happened when I accidentally pressed ctrl+enter...typing in the dark] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
