I am running a simple script to configure IIS using System.DirectoryServices and it has been running well for months.<br>
The whole thing is wrapped in a try i.e.<br>
<br>
try:<br>
...<br>
except Exception, inst:<br>
... # write to log file.<br>
<br>
I've had a single execution (trying to reproduce) that caused the script to stop mid-way thru but not record any exception. Now it could be the logging failed somehow but I am wondering if 'except Exception, inst' is a suitable catch all??<br>

Just to add - we've seen this a few times as well. Our distributed build script very occasionally dies with an IronPython Console crash dialog despite try/excepts around all of the threads of execution. It took a long time to actually see what the error was - it looks like it was a .NET file system exception resulting from a call to shutil.copyfile (unfortunately I didn't manage to grab the text). The traceback was from <somestream>.Flush - we're copying files over a network which occasionally goes away, so that would make sense.<br>

(This is also IP 1.1.2 - haven't tried this with IP 2.)<br>
