If it does not, or as a more generally applicable solution (though less readable), one can use the args attribute: except socket.error, e: if e.args[0] == 10061: ... elif e.args[0] == 10060: ... args is just the tuple formed from the positional arguments passed to the __init__() of the exception object when it is created, as if you did: class Exception: def __init__(self, *args): self.args = args -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
