You mean to say that "except X,Y:" gives different results to "except (X,Y):"? That can't be good. >>> try: ... L = []; print L[2] ... except ValueError, IndexError: ... print "Error!" ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 3, in ? IndexError: list index out of range >>> try: ... L = []; print L[2] ... except (ValueError, IndexError): ... print "Error!" ... Error! And here I was thinking that commas make tuples, not brackets. What is happening here? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
