Use the traceback module (See http://docs.python.org/lib/module-traceback.html for info on it.) import traceback try: db = MySQLdb.connect(host=DBSERVERIP, user="user", passwd="password", db="nuke") except: print "A database connection error has occurred" traceback.print_exc() return False else: pass #The rest of the program It's generally very difficult to figure out what's going wrong without the traceback in front of you. Also, try an empty string (i.e. "") as your hostname, it's shorthand for 'localhost'. Hope this helps, ~Simon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
