Haven't tried your suggestion yet, I just wanted to comment on this
last part real quick.  I have the same concern, my plan is to wrap all
that stuff up in a "try:" construct.  In such cases the program only
has to kick out a simple, sensible (for non-programmers) error message
and quit.

BTW, I didn't say it originally, but this is for 2.7 and hopefully
it'll be easy to carry over to 3.2.

Thanks,
