That's kind of scary Skip!  I.e. I belive the following is /not/
guaranteed to work in any version of Python that I'm aware of:

    try:
	raise 'foo'
    except 'foo':
	print 'foo caught'

because 'foo' is not (necessarily) 'foo'.

Much better to use:

    FOOEXC = 'foo'
    try:
	raise FOOEXC
    except FOOEXC:
	print 'foo caught'
