I think Jens was referring to the fact that since some version (which I don't remember correctly), when run with -O python will show the line number of the function definition on tracebacks instead of the real line number where the exception occurred.
I don't think this is the case for recent versions of Python. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
