Note that this code won't pick up the TypeError -- to do that, make a
slight change:

    except (AttributeError, TypeError):

The second `argument' in an except clause is used to get the error that
was raised -- so the code you posted will assign the details of the
AttributeError in the name TypeError!  To catch multiple types of error,
you must list them all as the first argument in the except statement,
using a tuple as above.  (Note also that you can use multiple except
clauses to do different things depending on what error is raised).

Feeling-pedantic-this-morning-ly y'rs,
