I don't know what Error refers to here. If you want a blanket except 
clause then catch Exception, that would replace IOError and probably Error.

Also you can specify more than one exception in a single except clause 
by putting them in a tuple:
             except (IOError, Error), err:
                 print "Problem opening configuration file. %s" %err
