Do you mean to catch every possible exception when importing aModule? If you replace "except:" with "except ImportError:" then only actual import errors will be caught. Any other errors in aModule (such as syntax errors, etc. will still raise a exception as normal. > The main concern here is that loading aModule is unnecessary (and may > take time). If importing aModule is unnecessary, then just don't import it. What are you trying to protect against? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
