But this is a great example of why you should not use a naked except 
clause.   As stated, your code will execute the except clause for *any* 
kind of an error, not just the exception you envisioned when you wrote 
it.    If you had written the except clause to catch just the exceptions 
you were interested in, then the exception int a called function would 
have come through that code as in un-handled exception, instead of being 
caught and essentially ignored.
