NoneType is not an exception, but the type of the None object. Perhaps you're not interpreting correctly some error messages:

>>> x=None
>>> x()
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

(the exception raised is a TypeError; NoneType is part of the message).

It appears that you want to catch all exceptions, just use Exception for that:
try:
   ...
except Exception:
   ...
