i see that my example would be (even) clearER with this one-line change:
py bug.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Usenet\bug.py", line 5, in <module>
map( Func, fooBar( X, Y, X + Y ))
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str
attempt to call + with 'abc' , 123.45 <--------------

i 'm so curious (puzzled) that it doesn't do the very obvious and easy thing
of giving me this info:
attempt to call + with 'abc' , 123.45 <--------------
