Not in my Python world it isn't. While that is sometimes the right answer, more often the right answer is to properly scope your try/except statement in order to avoid catching exceptions from code you aren't interested in. If you end up stuck with a library call that lacks both granularity and specificity of exceptions then you live with it (and maybe file a bug report/feature request with the library author).
