Um, OK, so is it customary in modern Python programs to follow Java
convention? then methods/functions should be written someMethod() or
myFunction()?

Ah, okay. I'm quite surprised to see the date--it was _that_ recent! :)
But currently, how have you--Python guys who code for a living--been
handling this case? I know that you can put another try inside a try,
but obviously the need for that is not common enough in idiomatic
Python program (or else this would have been a PEP in, say, 2000).
