Again Frank's original question.

"
I have a requirement where I need to sequentially execute a bunch of 
executions, each execution has a return code. the followed executions 
should only be executed if the return code is 0. is there a cleaner or 
more pythonic way to do this other than the following ?

if a() == 0:
     if b() == 0:
         c()
"

What is so difficult to understand about "is there a cleaner or more 
pythonic way to do this other than the following?"  Peter Otten for one 
certainly managed to get it, and as always managed to beat me to the draw :(
