If you just want to print the output (as in your example), you can use file=sys.stdout or file=sys.stderr in the call to print_exc. If you want to store the traceback into a string for some other purpose (e.g. logging, email notifications) I believe that you must use a StringIO object. -- Evan Klitzke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
