what about the bigger picture? E.g.,:

    try:
        acquire_resources()
        try:
            process()
        finally:
            release_resources()
    except AcquireResourceFailure:
       handle_resource_acquisition_failure()
    except ProcessFailure:
       handle_process_failure()
    else:
       wrap_up_clean_process_completion()

or ??
