Nope. That would result in a NameError. After adding "import traceback", 
I still get several AttributeError messages. The traceback should 
contain the exact line number, and a description about what object is 
missing what attribute anyway. My code is pure Python, and under no 
circumstances should it be able to start a blocked call for a system 
library function.
