Is there any way I can: 1) raise an exception ... 2) not catch that exception (I want python to abort) ... without displaying the "Traceback (most recent call last):" stack trace? -- paul at paulrodger dot com http://paulrodger.com/pgpkey.html 1024D/F0C363EF BC57 D4A4 AAB4 625F 61E8 D933 8F3D 04C5 F0C3 63EF
