R. David Murray added the comment: The str of the exception will always be nonblank (it will contain the string 'TypeError' at a minimum). So you need to peel off the 'TypeError:' prefix before testing if you want to use str(e). That's why I suggested using args[0], but I suppose that might be a little more fragile.
