I know there's got to be an easy way to do this - I want a way to catch the error text that would normally be shown in an interactive session and put that value into a string I can use later. I've tried just using a catch statement and trying to convert the output to string, but this doesn't always work. I really don't have programs complex enough to do a lot of specific catching at this point - I just want to know: 1. something failed 2. here's the error output/traceback
Anyone know how I can do this or if it's possible? Didn't find anything doing a search so I figured I'd hit up the experts. Thanks. -Pete Schott -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
