IMO this is the wrong way to use end.

end should be used to mark the end of a compound statement,
not the end of a suite. If a suite ending is already clear
because the next clause of the compound statement is beginning,
we don't need an extra marker to make that clear.

So the above should be:

  try:
    ...
  except blah:
    ...
  end
