Can you please at least try to capture a *specific* exception? Harvesting off 
*all* exceptions is usually a *very* bad design decision, and much frowned 
upon.

If there's a problem, take a note of the exception, and then use precisely 
that one in the try/except block. I know there are quite some programming 
newbies also here on the list, and I do not like to leave these sloppy code 
samples around here to be adopted (and worsened in the course).

Thanks,

Guy

mail in context, and do not leave all the crap with all signatures underneath 
your mail. This is especially nice to people reading to the mailing list in 
digest mode!
