Needed: FTP Upload Directory Tree script

Hi, Does anyone know of a function or script to upload an entire subdirectory tree from a local file space to an FTP server? The Python distribution comes with "ftpmirror.py", which performs a mirror download of a directory tree, but I need the "Upload" version of this. Thanks for any hints --

How can I obtain the exception object on a generlized except statement?

I am confused on one aspect of exception handling. If you specify the exception object type to match in an except statement it is possible to also obtain the exception object itself, but I can't figure out how to get the exception object when I don't specify a match. for example: >>> try: urlope

If the functions are f1, f2, f3 you could go this way: def SimulationRun(): if simulation_level = 1: SimulationFunction = f1 else if simulation_level = 2: SimulationFunction = f2 else and in the rest of the code you can refer to SimulationFunction instead of explicitly calling
