        I don't even see why "test1" is working. You explicitly import the 
exception by name, but you didn't bring in "TryItOut"...  That alone 
should have raised an exception.


[wulfraed at beastie wulfraed]$ python test1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test1.py", line 14, in ?
    letitrip.run()
  File "test1.py", line 7, in run
    tryitout = TryItOut()
NameError: global name 'TryItOut' is not defined
