Can we get the same patch without the generic "except:", please?
the last thing I want is a database corruption caused by resizing the Edit box...
Why would this particular except clause cause database corruption?
I think Leonard is refering to catching ConflictErrors. However I don't think int() touches the database ;^).
int() happens to raise a bunch of different exceptions, and I think an unqualified except: clause is okay here (though it needs a comment).
Yup and please reformat the other try: except: if you reformat the first one.
Also note that the unpatched code has an unqualified except: already, so you can't really blame Dmitry.
I say blame Canada! -Casey
