Fear not, I won't post all my exercises to the Tutor list! But when I seem to be doing something a little elaborate, it seems a good idea to ask if I'm doing anything silly. In this exercise:
<http://python.pastebin.com/d7e245e0f> (retention: 1 day) my /conscious/ worries are: (i) trapping the exception StandardError may, for all I know, be a daft thing to do; (ii) I'm not bothering to be consistent in my use of single and double string quotes (but I don't know how much difference this makes, to readability and/or reliability); (iii) some of my lines of code extend beyond 79 characters (but again, I don't know how much this matters); (iv) correlatively with (iii), my indentation perhaps looks a little extreme (perhaps suggesting a redesign, I don't know); (v) I'm bound to be doing other silly things that I don't even know about ("unknown unknowns"). Any comments?
