can you give us an example of what you're looking for?  generally:

exception KeyError:
Raised when a mapping (dictionary) key is not found in the set of existing keys

from:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/module-exceptions.html

in other words, you tried to access an element of a dictionary with a
key that is not in that dict.  using the get method [e.g.,
myDict.get(key, 'N/A')] is a better way to avoid these exceptions than
just trying to get something with myDict[key].
