Exception Handling

[Joshua Ginsberg]

If you use "except:" without any specific error class, it will be a 
catchall for any error class (including Warning and its derivatives). 
Otherwise you can use inheritance to refer to a group of exceptions 
(e.g. "except Exception:" would catch ValueError, since the ValueError 
class inherits from the generic Exception class).
