I don't disagree, but it's less bad than some of the other alternatives :). It's also not quite as bad when not using the exception (which I suspect would be somewhat more common): foo = try bar() except BarException "default" -- Zach PS: I know Gmail makes it harder than it needs to be, but could you please try to avoid top-posting? (This topic doesn't need to be derailed into another debate about top-posting though, so please either follow this suggestion or ignore it entirely :))
