Technically speaking, you can catch all errors as follows:

try:
   # do something
except Exception, e:
   print e


However, this is NOT the recommended way of handling errors. Typically
you catch only expected errors, such as when you open a file, you
check for an IOError. By catching all errors, you will learn less and
likely have hard-to-understand bugs in your program.
