I don't know about simpler, but this code will at least keep you from grabbing exceptions you don't want:
try: var1 = User.by_user_name(userString) except SQLObjectNotFound: var1 = None You could also add your own method to the user class that returns either the user name or none, if you plan on using the above idiom a whole lot. -Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
