Thank you all for your replies.

I'm just trying to find a way not to indent the code more then 
necessary. Makes it messy. That's just me :)

Thank you Emily Fortuna for the error types list, just what I was also 
after (no doubt Google wouldn't have told me those, but thanks anyways =D )

No problem there. Somewhat 5 years of PHP now, so normal debuggin etc. 
is all routine for me. And since I tend to aim for perfection and the 
gratest simplicity, I indeed want to handle the errors properly :)


I'm propably going to clean up my contacts script (what I was talking 
about originally) and put it here, since I'd like to get some feedback 
on the way I write Python.

Thank you all,
