Yeah, that's not terribly informative. But notice that all your try/except
pairs aren't lined up.
The second except is at the same indentation as the first below the second try.
Multiple excepts
are legal under a try, but in your case it leaves the outer (first) try without
any matching-indent except.
After fixing that, you may have to join some broken lines, if your post is
accurately reflecting your source.

The above except is at the same indentation as the previous one,
which is legal syntax, but you probably meant it to match the first try?

Careful with the above return's indentation after you fix the try/excepts.

I've heard pychecker (http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/) catches a lot of stuff.
Maybe it would help you. Having lint-eyes, I haven't yet tried it, though it
would probably save me some time ;-)
