If I use an if statement, I cannot use continue after I do my error handling,
The presence of an if statement cannot affect whether or not a continue can work. If you give a concrete code example, somebody will be able to identify the confusion.
And while you're at it, instead of saying "this failed" why not actually show us the traceback? Big difference between a name error and a type problem.
so I am really trying to use the except errorname: instead of an if statement. Therefore, I have to find the correct error name to identify the 10057 condition to the interpreter, but thanks anyway, Andreas.
except clauses do not work on "error names" they work on exception types. I don't use Windows, but I doubt if there's a separate exception type for 10057.
Incidentally, if you ever do get one of those except clauses to fire, you're going to want an exception object. Something like:
except OSError as theError: Then you can check the error code for anything you like. -- DaveA _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
