Yes, although I would more strongly suggest the custom exception class. In fact, the way I'd word it is: Never raise Exception, always a subclass. Otherwise it's too easy to accidentally catch something elsewhere in the code (a ValueError or TypeError or even AttributeError). ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
