Heh! I'm not entirely sure how that would work, as I've only skimmed the DB API thread, but I understand part of it is to do with sorting. I'm not sure how you could embed an except-expression into that without either changing the sort function or potentially doing part of the sort twice: lst = sorted(stuff) except TypeError: sorted(stuff, key=keyfunc) at which point you may as well go straight to the key= form from the start.
