R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Thanks for the report and patch.  However, in general we prefer not to mask 
exceptions (doing that can hide bugs in programs).  It would probably be 
reasonable to fix this in pydoc, however.

Alternatively there might be a specific exception or set of exceptions that 
should indeed result in a False value.  What exception is being raised?  Can 
you provide a test case extracted from what pygame is doing that triggers the 
problem?
