richard@bizarsoftware.com.au wrote I've run into several greedy except: clauses now, and have submitted patches to make them a little less greedy. Out of curiosity, I searched the Zope source for "unfiltered" except: clauses... % grep -rl "except:$" . |wc -l 102

Erk and a lot. This is a major major pain in the backside - e.g. the one in MailHost that just eats template rendering errors.
I'm willing to have a go at cleaning some of those except: clauses up, but I can't possibly do 102 of them (I have a product dealine coming up :)
Is it the sort of thing where it's just work putting a list of all of them (line numbers, &c) up on a web page, maybe crosslinked into cvsweb? Then people can go and pick them off, one at a time. Anthony
