A bare "except:" catches ALL exceptions; including SystemExit which is generated by sys.exit. And KeyboardInterrupt, too. That's why its basically a bad idea to use bare excepts unless you really, really, really need to. Try 'except Exception' instead. SystemExit and such do not inherit from Exception. --S
