It would be easy to make as many as you'd like, just change that process function.

Like gabor mentioned, it's actually done often in Python. Exceptions are just a different and handy control structure to me; I understand that it's a weird idea, I just don't understand why. Anyhow, ValidationErrors are exceptions now anway, so this, in general, would actually be lessoning the ammount of Exceptions being thrown. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
