The Pythonic way to do this is find out what exception is generated by
the event you want to handle, and handle that exception.
record_stuff = build_new_record()
try:
insert_record(record_stuff)
except FailedToInsert, e:
handle_insert_failure(e, record_stuff)
Define each of those functions, name the actual exception class, and
you're done.
