Of course. Use try-except; http://docs.python.org/tutorial/errors.html#handling-exceptions Here's one way to do it: for image in images:#or whatever the actual loop is # whatever while True: try: part_that_may_raise_IOError() except IOError: print("IOError; Retrying...") else: break # whatever other stuff Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
