Hi, I usually use perl but fancy a bit of a change so have started playing with python.
using perl to open a file or directory I usually use: open(FILE, $file) or die "Error: $!\n"; The $! is a perl variable that holds an error should the open fail, example being : "No such file or directory". With python I have use a try except block but I have no idea how I would get the same warning from python as I would from perl (the reason for the exception), I am not even sure if this is possible (I assume it must be) as google searching has been fruitless. Thanks for any help, pointers and suggestions. Dan. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
