Hi, > The lines you suspect are not the ones > quoted in the bug report: This is due to the “multiply_try" function. This is because of that that I’m not sure which line is responsible for the bug. > File "/net/hetgfs1/nfs_hetgfs1/mreece/MG5_aMC_v2_5_2/zzj12_xqcut150ht500_clusterA1/bin/internal/misc.py", line 367, in deco_f_retry > raise error.__class__, '[Fail %i times] \n %s ' % (i+1, error) > > Shouldn't this line read as follows? > raise error.__class__, ‘[Fail %i times] \n %s ' % (i+1, str(error)) I do not think so. The printout seems to work correctly. So I do not think that this line is problematic. Also in this case the %s should automatically called the str() function, so this is not required to put str(error). Cheers, Olivier > On Jan 16, 2017, at 15:24, Matthew Reece
