By the way please don't top post in this list.

You're right the first solution is not that helpfull. I quite dislike try blocks. But I dislike "for else" even more. While "if else"  is a correct english construct and means something, "for else " is not (correct me if I'm wrong).

"for else" works perfectly, I just can never remember on which condition the else block is processed.
