Is there a downside of implementing it similarly to this (untested): # generate a unique name for __except_N except E as __except_N: if 'N' in locals() or N in globals(): __original_N = N N = __except_N try: foo() finally: del __except_N if '__original_N' in locals(): N = __original_N del __original_N else: del N Regards, Igor. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
