Sorry for the noise.


But this is a great example of why you should not use a naked except clause. As stated, your code will execute the except clause for *any* kind of an error, not just the exception you envisioned when you wrote it. If you had written the except clause to catch just the exceptions you were interested in, then the exception int a called function would have come through that code as in un-handled exception, instead of being caught and essentially ignored.
