But if I want to catch it specifically (except BaseIteration), why doesn't it hinerit directly from BaseException? It's not an error and it's not a warning. I would like to see a piece of code in which it is useful to catch it generically with a except Exception clause instead of an except StopIteration... Regards -- Marco
