Here's my code that gets run when I've had to give up on converting a file:

if is_ok_to_use_qt():
	#self.raise_()
	QMessageBox.question( None, 
				'My Plugin', 
				"Couldn't convert: %s\nImporting original version instead." % path_to_ebook, QMessageBox.Ok)
return path_to_ebook

Suggestions welcome - I'm afraid python is new enough to me. Adding in QT as well has me well out of my depth.
