try / except not worknig correctly

[' at '.join([..join(['fred', 'dixon']), ..join(['gmail',]

1) the tutor list is really slow. but thanks.

2) Thanks Brain, i was missing the string bit. the code i posted (opps)
was not exactly where i was having problems, it just looked like it.

also thanks for the 'in' test, that will come in handy.
i am using chain because i need to do something different for each
twest.

is there a better way to return a tuple for each choice ?
