Hi,
I have a general question regarding programming style which may or may
not have an answer. Is it a better practice to have a function raise
an exception on error, so that the error can be caught; or return a
status code indicating that the function was unsuccessful?
Like I said, I don't expe

If you want to strip out all the tags and just leave the text,
Strip-o-Gram might do it.

Hi Joseph,

Okay, just checked the docs -
"sendmail( from_addr, to_addrs, msg[, mail_options, rcpt_options])
Note: The from_addr and to_addrs parameters are used to construct the
message envelope used by the transport agents. The SMTP does not modify the
message headers in any way."

If its Tkinter (or another GuI) there will be a quit command
somewhere. Call that to ensure that the GUI framework gets
tidied up properly.

But this is not quite true. Strings are immutable and have lots

Scott,
Take a look at setuptools: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools
It should handle everything you are looking for with ease. Turbogears

So far it seems to be flexible and reliabe for me.
Good Luck,

Thanks for your valuable feedback guys.

An unhandled exception immediately stops the execution of your code.
A handled exception (try/except) does not stop code execution (unless
you explicitly tell it to).
This shows how a handled exception does not stop code execution:

print 'caught excep

I hope one works.
One disadvantage though, now that i think of it is that time.sleep()

A little context would be helpful. If you are writing a standalone app
that just needs to wait 30 minutes, then do something, use time.sleep().
If the program needs to be able to do something else at the sa
