The fact that your GUI can call SimpleString implies to me that Python is running with multiple threads. The string is executed in a different thread from your other thread. The exception isn't being called from the right thread. Instead it's caught by the top-level exception handler for the GUI, which reports the error. Is it possible to put an explicit "check this variable and if it's true then abort" in your time-intensive code? Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
