This is definitely a duplicate of #16261 and should be closed at such.
On that issue, in msg202448, I explained that #15313 is about except: in idlelib and idlelib must be patched separately for the reason Raymond repeated (point 2). The other reason (point 1) is to keep different versions the same as much as possible.
I agree that bare excepts should eventually be replaced -- but on a case by case basis to the right specific exception. A bare except is easy to grep for. Once converted to something else, it is no longer visible as needing attention.
